This article is too funny. I cannot take it or the US Drug Czar seriously, though I'm quite sure the US will apply sanctions or dole out extra tariffs or some such to get those pesky Canadians in line with US policy.
Mr. Drug Czar you are the schizznit when it comes to drug issues. Look at the sweet job you've done, closing down those horrible Canadian Internet pharmacies by having the US pharceutical companies drastically reduce the amount of product they will sell to Canada. You go, boys! 
Canada is a major exporter of high-potency marijuana to the US: drug czar

MIAMI (AFP) - Canada is a major exporter of high-grade marijuana to the United States, US drug czar John Walters said in Miami, suggesting Canadian authorities were too lax in punishing drug traffickers.
"We have a growing problem with the expansion of particularly high-potency marijuana coming from Canada," said Walters, who heads the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
"The growth of high-potency marijuana has exploded in Canada," he said at a news conference.
He said new cultivation methods mean the marijuana sold in the United States today is on average seven times more potent "than the marijuana baby-boomer parents may remember from their days of use or experimentation."
How many times have we heard this shite? The extra potency is a good thing. It means you smoke less to cop the same buzz. Smoking less is good. Dumb asses.
In the past, marijuana contained about one percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the drug's active ingredient. "The indoor-cultivated hydroponic, specially tended marijuana can go up to 20 to 30 percent THC content," Walters said.
"Canada is exporting to us the crack of marijuana," he said.
Here we go with the killer weed analogy. So impressive.
He said high-potency marijuana sold for about the same price per weight as cocaine, and that some motorcycle gangs in California swapped the marijuana they brought from the United States' northern neighbor for the same weight of cocaine.
Must be damn good weed then. Nice how the "Czar" has brought cocaine into the mix just to give pot that added "badness." In your mind you are supposed to jump to "Marijuana=cocaine. OMG!"
Last year, authorities estimated marijuana trafficking was a nine-billion-dollar business in British Columbia alone, said Walters.
"The real problem in Canada has been that ... the judges have refused in a large measure to give people jail time unless they actually commit a violent crime. As a result you can make millions of dollars distributing drugs which cause all kinds of damages to lives and not go to jail," he said.
Fuck Thank you Mr. American Drug Czar expert for telling us exactly what is wrong with Canada's drug policies and judicial system. Now perhaps you'd like to get back to :cough:that joke:cough: The War On Drugs?
Killer bees.
Thassallahmsayin.
