Issues in the history of the consumption, manufacture, and regulation of drink in Canada

Cannabis and liquor legalization on the road again

Cross posted from drughistorycanada due to the connections between drink and drug history.

If the weather holds I’ll be off to Saskatoon tomorrow for a symposium on cannabis legalization.  I have been asked to do a keynote based on my observations and research on the connections between liquor control and cannabis legalization.  It’s something I have looked at a few times, so it will be fun to bounce these ideas off an audience in a city where cannabis has been an especially hot topic of consideration and debate for a while now.

Here is the poster. If you’re around, come by!

Medical historian and jack-of-all-trades curmudgeon. I tend to ramble about politics, social incivility, and a self-centred culture more interested in buying the next cool ringtone or device than actively engaging in the sorts of discussions and issues that matter. The more opportunity we have to buy more stuff, the less concern there is, it seems, in politics, social justice and let’s face it, basic human decency, unless those things actually can save us money or get us more things to show how awesome we are through displaying our material wealth. And I like to brew beer, make cheese, and put food in jars.
