NOTE: I do not smoke or consume marijuana, nor its totally legal and mostly red-tape-free cousin hemp, and I don't intend to do so.
My friend and I wandered into the Toronto Hemp Company (aka THC), wondering what kind of hemp products it sold. I was naively assuming that it just sold hemp bags and paper.
Boy, was I WRONG! And their disclaimer sign saying that they sold nothing illegal should have given me that hint. But, curiosity got the better of me, and we went in.
Another note: Marijuana is legal if it is used for medicinal purposes where I live, but there are restrictions, otherwise you'd see more stores like this. My friend and I only browsed the ground floor, since the second floor was all about cannabis-related glass tubes and containers, and I noticed a sign on the staircase leading to the basement floor holding plants and gardening supplies that said someone had to let you in.
Here's where it gets funny. I saw some packages that I thought were bars of plain old chocolate.
Me: guess who?
Clerk: The guy who answered my questions.
Me: Do you guys sell medical marijuana?
Clerk: No, but we are affiliated with (name of pain centre) that does. We also are affiliated with a store that sells cannabis seeds.
Me (pointing to "chocolate bars"): Ok, but what are these?
Clerk: Flavoured papers (for rolling marijuana in).
Me: Oh, I thought that they were chocolates!
Clerk: No, we can't be THAT open!
Cue me explaining that I thought that they were plain old marijuana-free chocolates!
The kicker? When we finally left the store, my friend jokingly told me that I was a bad influence on him!
