"There are several options for a public health-oriented cannabis distribution system in Ontario. We believe that the LCBO – the publicly run provincial monopoly for alcohol distribution – should be at its core."

No. No. No. No. No!! Dear God, 99% of humanity already buys booze at the corner store and here in Canada, we're stuck in the nanny state dark ages. Cannabis is a specialized product. Consumers want to deal with vendors who know the product, who use the product and who have experience with the product. LCBO and other provincial liquor retailers are so far removed from this reality it's laughable. Chill out. It's weed. It's not the apocalypse. Booze causes FAR greater social strife and premature death than weed yet weed is the demon plant and booze gets to sponsor the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Enough already. Too much regulation means people will find their cannabis elsewhere.
