Albertans drinking way less booze than they used to, lead the country in cannabis sales

[shockedcanadian]

Even the most conservative province in Canada want to escape from reality as they see the impending collapse of Canada. They have thus turned to the leaf to cope, sadly.

Don't worry, we have a used car salesman in Ontario who will sell you all kinds of promises and deliver on none as Trump hits us with tariffs and takes back manufacturing.

No one can blame me. I kept my word and was a mensch in the face of cowardly abusers.

It's been well documented by now that Canadians are drinking less than they used to, but no other province has seen a greater reduction than Alberta.

You know those giant bottles of vodka you can get at Costco? The 4.5-litre ones? That's how much less booze the average Albertan drank last year, compared to how much they drank in 2008.

Put another way: 107 fewer beers, per person, per year.

Sky-high cannabis sales​

At the same time, cannabis sales in Alberta have been on the rise. They've grown in every year that Statistics Canada has tracked this data.

Albertans led the country in legal cannabis consumption by a substantial margin last year, with an average of $248 spent per person of legal age to buy it.

The next closest province was Saskatchewan, at $205.

Cannabis is at least as bad, probably worse.

The conservatives in Canada are getting stoned because they see our future. The Police State won while everyone was blaming America over the last 60 years.

What an insult to those in the know.

Canadas collapse is assured and Trump and U.S intelligence are fully aware of this eventuality.

I repeat, don't blame me. I fought damn hard for civil liberties and our Charter of Rights and by the grace of G-ds hand I will continue to do so. Hopefully we have judges who will understand what's at stake because our politicians and the Creepy Ones in policing never cared. They are responsible for our collapse and lack of hope.

If Japan had been located where Canada is with a free trade agreement with America, the greatest consumption economy in history. How much larger would our GDP be?

I have seen a huge uptick in people buying legalized pot in the US too. They often cross the border from one state where it is illegal to a state where it is legalized. I am all for people using pot and alcohol to cope with life...as I discovered getting drunk and high only offers short term relief...they would be better off doing what I am doing which is having a doctor prescribe antidepressants, anxiety meds, mood stabilizers and sleeping pills. You can totally numb your feelings on them and just not care anymore how shitty life is.

Strong psychiatric meds probably not a bad solution for those Canadians trying to cope.

To each their own. Perhaps one day in my twilight I will dabble in these poisons. As it were, my body is a temple and I don't desire nor partake in such recreational pursuits.
