Hello all, well i dont post here much just repond but i actually got pissed off enough to see what others think of this:
I live here, here being Edmonton, Edmonton being in Western Canada. In my provience, Alberta, a pack of smokes currently is $10, in a few weeks time that will become $15! Yes 15 dollars for a pack of smokes. Now many that do not smoke will just say too bad, but for the many of that do smoke it is a very high price.
I live here, here being Edmonton, Edmonton being in Western Canada. In my provience, Alberta, a gram of weed (2 joints and some of the strongest in the world) is currently $10, and through sources that i have some say might go down to 7-8$. Now many of you who dont smokes weed will just say WHAT THE HELL, but for the many of young 15 and 16 year old they are loving it.
Should a drug that is illegal be going down in price whilea drug that is legal be going up. What sort of prededant are we setting for our youth (i say youth like i'm old or someting)
Do you think $15 for a pack of smokes is crazy? I do! I think it is another tax on the working man. The way i look at it many working class people smoke. This isnt based on anything its just my experience. Recently liqour went up in cost and the way i see it my provincial gov't is taking advantage of the prosperity of my area. They have become complacent because they have become the richest prov. in Canada and was not effected to the same degree the US was in the down turn.
Would you be pissed?
