My sign is Aquarius but i missed the drug days of youth...i built plastic models...maybe the glue substituted. But here we are – it’s today, and I’m concerned. BC has changed the rules for the small time local drug dealers – they’re legalizing the stuff and threatening the very existence of this entrepreneurial sector.

And now Ontario threatens their big brother. Heck the way I understand it – we’re going to have to buy drugs on almost the blind faith of our Medical Doctor, no more consultations – with the Dealer. And we may not be able to buy them at 3 in the morning – and that’s a problem, cause my doctor usually stays open till at least 2:30am so I can get prescriptions. And they won’t deliver for free....means i may have to visit them on a corner, under a dimly glowing street light? Well then I agree, close earlier...I don’t like late night rendezvous. And if the line-ups and wait times get too, too long for drugs at the pharma ...I’ll do the street corner at WalMart – even though I’m not their greatest fan.

In a competitive world I just don’t understand how businesses that are loosely attached to Medical Care – refer to me as a patient. And as for this new breed of Drug Dealer holding me “hostage” as the media has been saying...only till I cross the street to WalMart.

Go back, return to your core business – sell drugs. Give up the milk, makeup, magazines and whatnot. Go take a look at what pharmacies in Europe are all about – small medical-help style dispensaries. Find your core business – balance your overhead to that core...it can all work out.

...so buddy can you spare a buck, for your local drug dealer? Send it to one of those big stores - the rents are just giant!
