Did you know Canada’s Supreme Court once compared recreational cannabis to cannibalism?
When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of medicinal cannabis, it was a unanimous decision. But when the Court ruled on recreational cannabis in 2003, the outcome was quite different.

Societal norms and ethical considerations, they argued, play a significant role in shaping the law.
While they compared cannabis to golf, we compared a trichome to a golf ball on a tee.
