Additionally, all dates seem to point to mid October for some reason...
Currently and total spec here but the only big event that I could see benefiting High Times around that time...would be Canadian legalization of recreation MJ.
What a great time to kick off a surprise cannabis cup in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary...
Where all the BIG Canadian MJ players are locations
Just like heard on that video in link you provided... once medical gets in, everything else follows... after all bottom line is it'll be about the bottom line $$$ for the state.
