2 Replies

RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) are investigating an incident from Courtenay, B.C. (British Columbia – a province in Canada where BC Bud is from) in which a 38 year old Jay Phillips was attacked in what the police believe was a racial attack. The video shows the attackers – three young, Caucasian males throwing punching and yelling racial slurs at Jay Phillips who’s of African descent.

Jay Phillips works as a landscaper in Courtenay, a town about 220 km northwest of Victoria. He was walking past the fast food restaurant last Friday when a truck full of people yelling racial slurs passed by. The red truck then pulled over and three males jumped out, surrounded Jay Phillips and confronted him. He was able to fight back and reported the incident to the police so as to prevent such attacks from happening to other kids who may not be able to protect themselves as well as he did.

The video of the attack was posted on YouTube, however who recorded it is not known. After review of the video, the police had said that they were questioning the witnesses and admitted that there may have been racial elements in the attack. Jay Phillips told the media that:

I think everyone should be allowed to walk down the street with their head held up and proud of who they are. Everybody.

The Union – Marijuana Documentary from British Columbia

The Union - Marijuana Documentary from British Columbia
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High is basically a Marijuana Documentary about Marijuana industry in British Columbia, Canada. The main premise of the documentary is to present Marijuana through clear and understandable facts. It doesn’t focus much on BC as its main area, instead the focus is on comparison of Marijuana to tobacco or alcohol – the drugs that are legal yet more harmful. The message is to legalize Marijuana and is supported by arguments that are factual, compelling and backed up by reliable sources.

Marijuana has been used for millennia and has thousands of uses. The reasoning behind making Cannabis illegal is questionable and should be reviewed. Many people however continue to grow, sell and use Cannabis and even though outlawed, Marijuana trade industry has grown into a giant business. According to The Union documentary, the Cannabis industry could be responsible for up to CAD $7 Billion in sales each year. About 85% of BC’s Marijuana makes its way to the United States making this trade an international issue.

Adam Scorgie – filmmaker responsible for the documentary introduces Marijuana industry that commands billions of dollars and still remains illegal. The film crew visits Marijuana growers, activists, patients, police, politicians and whole plethora of other people whose lives have been affected by obsolete anti Marijuana laws. It also provides an outlook on what effects it would have on society if Marijuana was legalized. There are many excellent points presented.

It kind of makes you feel weird watching a documentary that makes so much sense. And you don’t even need to light up a doobie to totally agree with it. And considering current global economic difficulties, it’s amazing to learn how much of a spruce up an economy could get if Marijuana was legalized and taxed. Even government is a business. Don’t they get that part? Hemp is the shit. Legalize it now! But then again, if Marijuana was legal, entire tobacco and alcohol industries would take a heavy tumble. And they’re not gonna allow it. There’s too much money in stake and they won’t part with it willingly. For as long as these lobbyists have the power, legalizing of Marijuana will not be coming anytime soon.
