CIA's World Factbook - Who writes this stuff?

[MirandaHart]

I inadvertently came across this at the bottom of their page - thought I'd pass it along for a laugh. :wtf:

"Transnational Issues Canada :

Illicit drugs: illicit producer of cannabis for the domestic drug market and export to US; use of hydroponics technology permits growers to plant large quantities of high-quality marijuana indoors; increasing ecstasy production, some of which is destined for the US; vulnerable to narcotics money laundering because of its mature financial services sector
This page was last updated on 15 March, 2007"

Notice the date: It's current

Its only 2% because canadians cant grow weed! Ohhhhhhhhh - you can take the Tim Hortons to the bank on that one! Just joking eh? eh? eh? Canadians - their terror drips over the border like maple syrup! lol!

At least in Canada the government at the federal level has some support for med users and we won't be thrown in jail to face stiff penalities for trying to lead a normal life.

I just want everyone to know that I was totally joking for real (on the last post). Sarcasm is hard to put down in writing sometimes. Canada does have way better marijuana laws - I agree 100%.
