What Will The Dealers Do? |
 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007
Is marijuana on its way to becoming legal in Canada? According to some unreliable sources of mine, yes it is. As for the commencement of this new law, I'm not entirely certain, but I was told it could be as soon as next year.
If this is in fact true, I can only wonder what the ramifications might be. All those pot dealers would suddenly be out of a job. People would be lighting up wherever they want and then subsequently, spend hours doing nothing but watch television, giggling away at normally boring things like the evening news or re-runs of Fraiser.
What about those aforementioned pot dealers? Right now, there are literally hundreds of them living in party houses all over the South End. They live life the only way they know how: by partying to no end while making fast and easy tax-free cash that makes the monthly rent bill a mere afterthought.
What will they do when the law is passed? They'll likely be forced to give up their jobs as respected pot providers and go back to living the typical "broke-student" lifestyle. Weren't things easier when everything was simply illegal? The south-end college kids could sell the goods and make their bank in peace, while the cops turn their heads away knowing everything is cool as long as no violence is involved.
That's what gets me. Everyone around me is saying how much easier it will be to sell the stuff once its legal because the cops won't be able to hassle them. I disagree though, in my experience the cops have always been really cool about smoking up just as long as we weren't fighting or causing mischief.
Like that one time a cop mistakenly busted into my friend's house while we were chilling out and smoking bats. The cop apologized profusely and told us he wouldn't dream of writing us up for all the joints we had on the table. Before he left, he even sat down and smoked a few while we regaled him with embarrassing mishaps with our significant others.
One instance I mentioned was how angry my girlfriend was after she found my trusty blow-up doll. I remember her saying, "It's me or the doll, you have to choose." Long story short, I chose the doll. And why the hell not. She doesn't yell at me, she's always up for getting it on, and unlike real girls, whenever I get bored I can just deflate her and throw her in the closet.
