I mean, the intent behind these kinds of businesses is activism, really. They’re definitely taking a page out of the Marc Emery playbook with their business model, forcing law enforcement to sort of play wack-a-mole with multiple locations but being super duper obvious with their presence as a business, and using that to really highlight the disproportionate investment of resources in the enforcement of some rather archaic drug laws.

lol you do realize they’ll have fines to pay at the very least, right? This isn’t black market dealing, this is a push for decriminalization knowing full well that civil disobedience has some expensive and unavoidable consequences.
