The Roll-Up #56: Legalization Day in Canada
This week: The entire nation of Canada legalized cannabis on Wednesday, Oct. 17. No big deal.
Bruce and the Leafly Canada staff were there to cover it, experience it, and celebrate it. From the Tuesday night parties in Toronto to the first sale in Newfoundland to the smoke-ins and chocolate cake: This is what history sounds like.
Justin Trudeau, Dwayne Gretzky, 5-foot papier mache cannabis buds, Arcade Fire songs, Newfoundland sea shanties, Gord and the Tragically Hip, legal pardons, smoke-filled rooms, weird fuzzy cosplay, First Nations stores, CBC reports, Winnipeg shame, fat doobies and late nights in Montreal: This one nearly killed Bruce in the editing.
We hope you enjoy it.
What’s this show? Every Friday the Roll-Up crew—Bruce Barcott, Ben Adlin, and Alyssa Yeoman—dissect the week’s top stories in cannabis with analysis, arguments, jokes, and obscure cultural references.
The Roll-Up: It’s a news and culture podcast, slightly elevated.
