CIA's World Factbook - Who writes this stuff?

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

lol what do you mean who writes this stuff? the CIA does, hence why they keep repeating "for export to the US"

uh oh,forget iran... canadas next on the chopping block, hahaha...:wtf:

...

now that's just fucked up...

i'll have you know that our armed forces don't support him EITHER!!!

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%.

interesting Fact:

prior to 1992 importing any amount, of any narcotic would bring a mandatory minimum sentence of 7 years. in CANADA

oops forgot about the join, BANG lost a decade
.
he he

the law was challenged and defeated because it was “cruel and unusual punishment”
