Alcohol and the Titans

In Canada, the discussion is around 'who will sell?', as in the retailers should be regulated, much like alcohol. They ensure taxes are collected, under-age and 'addicts' are excluded, and that 'responsible' sales will occur. One province (Ontario) has proposed that all sales should go through existing liquor stores, and BC's unions have agreed.

Reminds me alot of InBev/Diageo consolidating liquor distribution.

Who would believe big money will ignore making big money? Not me.

Legalization is a dual edged sword. Know, that when the big outfits come, they'll want your money, and fuck your concerns. Just pay your credit card, and remember to vote.

I wish this was a bigger topic in the community. Because by the time it becomes a topic, it won't be one anymore.

Or at least not one that you can influence anymore....
