Hi Jim. I am a legal cannabis user and I can see a huge opportunity for Canada to be the leading producer of this type of medicine. The jobs created would be great , but better than that is all the lives saved by not going on opiate drugs and get addicted(side note Cannabis is not addictive except as a mental obsession like overeaters and food). Talk about green jobs! And then there is hemp… need I say more? The use of both types of cannabis would create a wave of secondary and higher level jobs to support that main industry. I create infused oils and baked goods as well as what I call Cannabis Canndies. Think of the potential market for those items alone! This one solution to job creation I rarely hear talked about. I wonder why?
