RIDING HIGH
In BC, cannabis isn't a new thing
to us – but it's also something
that's about to change in a big way.
Jeremy*, a 33-year-old carpenter
from Salt Spring Island, has smoked
weed pretty much every day since
the age of 15. He doesn't worry
about "having a puff" and driving.
"I've smoked pot for a long time,
so I don't feel it necessarily affects
me a lot. Like, I can smoke a joint
and go for a drive and it doesn't
bother me at all," he says. "I've never
really felt like I was at the point that
I wouldn't be able to drive." He pauses.
"But whether I should be driving or
not? I don't know, maybe that's
a different question."
