And here are some of the comments from the CBC web site:
I'll take 3 dozen!...oh wait...I'll take 6 dozen!
Haven't had one of those since the 60's!
If you got any gluten free ones, I'll take them all!
Arrest anyone with a milk moustache.
Oreos are a gateway cookie.
It's a vicious cycle to break: Eat a cookie, get high, get the munchies, eat a cookie.....
So if pot was legal and they sold 8000 cookies at let's say 10 bucks a cookie, that's $80,000. At 13% tax that would have been $10,400.00 tax in the government's coffers. Money that could have went to daycare spots, public transit...
But no, that's crazy talk - we'd rather build a casino in the middle of Toronto than legalize weed, because weed is bad, and gambling....is good?
What was it again?
10,000 cookies have been found at the house…..
8,000 cookies delivered to the police station…..
6,000 cookies taken from the station vault to be delivered to the court (for evidence)
3,500 cookies are placed on the table in the court room
Recount… 3,495 left, with the judge smiling, looking all happy
Happy 4/20
Seriously, aren't laws and law enforcement supposed to protect us from each other, not to tell us what we can and can't do? Time to tell them to butt out on this issue. I'll bet the cops all bought a quart of milk after this bust.
I look forward to the day when this isn't considered news.
I read through the first hundred of the 218 comments to this story. Not one saw these marijuana cookies as a danger to society. Almost all of them were for decriminalization. A great many of them were critical of the RCMP for raiding the house while two men the cops described as armed were allowed to get away.
