Chapter 185: The Marijuana Party
"Haha......ha Right...... They are terrorist organizations, and they are worse than terrorist organizations. Harrison laughed when he heard Hong Tao's question.
"No, no, no, don't listen to his nonsense, our marijuana party is a legal political party, and it also participated in the market election, although it failed, but sooner or later it will succeed!" Pavey's face turned red with anger and he danced in defense of his party.
It turns out that there is really a political party called the "British Columbia Marijuana Party" in Canada, British Columbia is the province of British Columbia, and on the west coast of Canada, it is the province where the city of Vancouver is located. This party was founded in 1996, and the leader of the party is called Emily, who is in his 40s and is known as the "Prince of Marijuana" in Canada.
In 1994, this Emily founded the world's first cannabis seed store in Vancouver, openly selling cannabis seeds, openly challenging the law, so, in 1996, his cannabis seed shop was raided by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and he was charged, but I don't know what the reason is, Emily won the lawsuit.
After that, Emily learned the lesson that she was easy to be banned and accused by the police if she went it alone, and took the throne in British Columbia to form a political party called the "Brittish Columbia Marijuana Party". It is important to note that this marijuana party is not an underground gangster, it is a very legal party that puts out candidates in every election.
With this party, Emily began to look for soldiers, and soon turned the marijuana party into a real political party with official members all over Canada, and also played her own party platform, that is, to promote the process of "drug legalization" in Canada, and eventually turn marijuana into a commodity that can be legally grown and smoked like ordinary cigarettes.
And according to Canadian federal law, it is basically impossible for the government to ban or confiscate the property of a legal political party, so the marijuana party can grow their marijuana fields under the banner of party property. And the police can only watch, there is nothing they can do.
In 2000, Emily and his marijuana party both ran for mayor of Vancouver, and although they did not win in the end, the popularity of the marijuana party was further enhanced by this election.
The marijuana party doesn't just have its own legal status. There are also his own newspapers, websites, online TV stations and other propaganda organizations, and the prince of marijuana, Emily, often travels around the country to give speeches and promote his ideas.
It is precisely because the Canadian federal government has a conniving attitude towards marijuana, a relatively low-level drug, that monsters like the marijuana party appear in Canada. Moreover, Canadians have few people and vast land, most of the country is very inhospitable, and private marijuana cultivation has never stopped, such as a piece of marijuana grown in the backyard of Pavey's house, but these are the property of the marijuana party, and they cannot be sold privately on the market. But if you want to smoke, it's so convenient.
After listening to Pavi's story, Hong Tao's mind was already down, what kind of country and government is this?! It provides its citizens with comprehensive access to health care, insurance, education, pension and jobs. It can protect the domestic environment very well, it can develop detailed protection measures for all kinds of small animals, even rats, and it can also allow organizations like the Marijuana Party to exist. It is still a legal political party, and it can still run for mayor.
This information is a bit too exciting for people like Hong Tao who grew up under the five-star red flag. Hong Tao couldn't find a reasonable logic in it, and he couldn't see the specific meaning of doing so, and it was also incompatible with the way he originally cultivated the judgment of right and wrong, good and bad, right and wrong.
Political things are too complicated, Hong Tao can't understand it, for the marijuana thing, he still has a deep vigilance, smoking once is to try to be fresh, although the soft and dizzy taste at that time is not sad, but he really didn't want to smoke it a second time, so he can still resist the temptation of Pavey.
"Uncle Pavey, can you get me some Canadian goods? I'll take it back to school, and I'll ...... little by little" Hong Tao was not moved, Erin was tempted, she stretched out her finger and used her index finger and thumb to make a distance of 2 mm, trying to show that her request was not too much at all.
"You can smoke it, you and your sister and his boyfriend can do it, but you can't take it out of my house at all, let alone bring it back to the United States, I don't want to be arrested by the police in the middle of the night. But what I grow is the best Canadian marijuana, green, you know, that smell......"
Pavey immediately rejected Erin's proposal, but if you say you refuse, you can refuse, and at the end of the sentence is added, isn't this purely to attract hatred for yourself. Hong Tao dares to guarantee that this Pa Wei must have been beaten by others when he was young, just the way he speaks, if Hong Tao doesn't look at him as an old man, sometimes he wants to go up and punch a few times, it's too annoying!
The journey back was not easy, although everyone had already consumed a lot of food, but with the addition of the carcasses of a grizzly bear and two wolves, the weight was not only not reduced, but also increased. Thankfully, Old Gale knew the way back to the lumberyard and used a snowmobile to get the grizzly back first, or everyone else had more to carry.
However, with Old Gael's snowmobile, you can run a round trip in about 1 hour, so in the second half of the return trip, Hong Tao finally didn't have to carry the big backpack, but replaced it with Miss Liu's small backpack, and all the ladies could travel lightly, and when they arrived at the logging site, they were half an hour faster than the one who came.
Hong Tao has participated in many group outings or fishing activities in his previous life, and these activities have a characteristic, that is, when they set off, they were all high-spirited, singing and laughing, and all the hardships were floating clouds, and they rushed to the destination in one go. And when I returned, I was almost all like a remnant of a defeated soldier, wilting my head and drooping my head, and I began to doze off as soon as I got in the car, and I didn't even bother to eat halfway, so I couldn't wait to fly home in one step, and then take a hot shower comfortably, blow the air conditioner, lie on the bed, and swear that I would never participate in this kind of tiring activity next time.
But it didn't take 2 days, and as soon as the fatigue was relieved, the grass began to grow in my heart again, so several people got together to discuss it, and the next trip was decided again. And then just like that, don't think about it, go and scold, to put it simply, these people who like to be close to nature are all cheap bones!
Hong Tao is also one of these cheap bones, when he returned to the Big Bear Hotel, his whole body was like a broken frame, he was tired, and he sang a half-night free concert for everyone last night, at this time he didn't even have the strength to take a bath, and when he returned to the room, he fell down on the bed, almost at the moment when his body touched the sheets, he fell asleep.
Lunch Hong Tao himself solved in a dream, and at dinner, everyone sat around the long table just like the first day here. Before the meal, Austin, on behalf of the owner of the Great Bear's territory, his grandfather, gave a congratulatory speech to everyone, and then everyone was a slammed meal.
This is the last night of this hunt, tomorrow at dawn, everyone will go their separate ways, Austin, as the host, to the Liu father and daughter, the Erin sisters, Jim and Hong Tao, the first time to come to the Big Bear Lodge, a small can of Big Bear territory handbrewed maple syrup.
And everyone also gave Austin gifts in return, the most valuable gifts of Liu's father and daughter, 3 bottles of high-end liquor made in China; Sister Erin and Jim didn't have much to prepare, and Hong Tao said on their behalf, a set of small doll ornaments bought from Japan; In addition, Harrison and Hong Tao were also traveling together for the first time, and he also lost to Hong Tao in the fishing competition, no matter who he and Pavey ended up being the last, anyway, he agreed with Hong Tao's ability to fish, so his bear hunting knife became a gift and was given to Hong Tao. And Hong Tao's reward is a set of Dawa fishing rods that he got from Zhou Xiaoli, including 2 boat fishing rods and a rock fishing rod. (To be continued......)
