In mountain towns in Alberta, Frankson said, what might be the way marijuana legalization looks like: regulars from many adult sources of amnesia patients are also smoking marijuana, so, the chain began stocking up to meet their needs.

AGLC regulations require future cannabis retail stores to sell nothing but cannabis.
Trading in bongs, pipelines, and rolling documents allows adult sources to join the ranks of cannabis that are about to be legalized without paperwork.
