Spam Filters

So anyone using a Sympatico email address, your email is being handled by Microsoft. They have just introduced a new filtering system. Now, all of our webshop email is going into your junk folder. You've been advised!

Select the email and click on "Not Junk" to stop this from happening in the future. Unlike Google's Gmail - which NEVER catches good email in the spam folder, Hotmail has a way to go.

Makes it hard for people to create webshop accounts, when they think they don't get the confirmation email.

We never spam!!

Funny Stumble

Ha!

Cannabis Collector's Item

The Friendly Stranger has been doing some spring cleaning at our warehouse and we found several copies of a true Canadian Cannabis Collectible.

This is the cover of the "Marijuana and Hemp Newsletter".  It was published in January 1995 and features a full colour post card as the cover image.  The issue is printed on Hemp Paper and is 52 pages.

For those not familiar with the history of the Canadian Cannabis Culture, this publication became Cannabis Canada and then later Cannabis Culture Magazine.

Articles inside include "How to Grow Pot" and "Cooking with Cannabis" along with a great recipe for making Cannabis Milk. Brownies anyone?.

This is your chance to own a piece of cannabis history!  Drop into the shop and pick up your copy today - only $5 (A real deal - as the original cover was $3.95!)

Pot and Politics: Canada and the Marijuana Debate

Directly from the site:

In 1923 it became illegal for Canadians to possess marijuana. But the laws have always been flouted, by recreational users who just want to get high, and by medicinal users seeking relief from pain and illness. From cannabis cafés to courtrooms, doctors and patients, rabble-rousers and senior statesmen have engaged in a passionate debate over marijuana possession. But the laws have endured.
