Montreal advocates of marijuana legalization say recent national developments can only help local efforts to legalize weed.On April 1, a Nova Scotia court became the third in Canada to throw out marijuana possession laws. Two days later, a Saint John, N.B., café that allows customers to smoke marijuana opened to the public.
"This opens a door in Quebec," said Dylan Maxwell, owner of the Je l'ai boutique, a Duluth Ave. store specializing in hemp products and pot-related paraphernalia. "It's another question whether someone would (open a similar café here). You can only make money selling coffee at these places." Selling marijuana is still illegal.Montreal had an underground cannabis café in the 80s, said Maxwell, which was shut soon after it decided to operate in the open. But things have changed considerably since then.Snipped:Complete Article: http://www.freedomtoexhale.com/nb.htmSource: Montreal Gazette (CN QU)Author: John MacFarlane, The GazettePublished: Sunday, April 06, 2003Copyright: 2003 The Gazette, a division of Southam Inc.Contact: letters thegazette.southam.caWebsite: http://www.canada.com/montreal/montrealgazette/Related Articles & Web Sites:Bloc Pothttp://www.blocpot.qc.ca/Cannabis News Canadian Linkshttp://freedomtoexhale.com/can.htmN.B.

David Bloom was my favorite embedded reporter. I said to my husband when this war began that I hoped that nothing would happen to him. Here's a link to an article. May he rest in peace.NBC's Bloom Dies: http://www.nynewsday.com/entertainment/ny-iraq-bloom0406,0,4484115.story?coll=nyc-topheadlines-left
