Drugs R Us
This picture was taken in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. There is a general belief that drug use in Canada is more accepted than in the U.S. Canadians generally are more open minded about the use of Marijuana.
Our Criminal Code makes it illegal to possess marijuana, but for small amounts, such as a joint, people are not likely to be arrested or charged. There are stores that openly sell drug paraphernalia, such as this one.
This conflicts with the messages being given in our schools. Most high schools have a zero tolerance policy about drug posession and use. This means that if students are caught with pipes they can be suspended and for larger amounts, police will certainly be involved.

Ole Tommy Chong could give them (students) a lesson or two in the market ideology of paraphenalia.

Did you read the big article in the Sun about the "crack pipe kits" being distributed downtown too? No mixed messages in Ottawa, nope.
