It’s a sad time to be a stoner in Canada after a cannabis facility caught fire and lit up hundreds of kilos of product. The irony? It was located by High River.

You know that fire was stanky. Do you think the firefighters were extra hungry after putting that blaze out?
I’ve seen so many lives negatively changed by weed, so I’m not the least bit sad to hear a bunch of cannabis went up in smoke—and wasn’t inhaled. Weed is addictive, it can cause psychotic episodes, and it makes you dumber, to name a few of its downsides. Losing a few hundred kilos is a net gain for society.
The important thing was no one was hurt by the fire, and for that we should all be grateful.
