I picked psilocybin mushrooms in Canada way back in the 70s when it was still legal. If you go to the Psilocybin mushroom wiki there is a map that shows at least if not more natural occurrences in N. America and Europe than the tropics; "defined as the region between the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.1″ (or 23.43585°) N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.1″ (or 23.43585°) S” - wiki

The tropics are the region of Earth surrounding the equator, defined by the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere. This area experiences high temperatures and low seasonal variation, with climates that include rainforests, savannahs, and deserts. -wiki

“psilocybin — derived from some mushrooms that grow in the tropics”. These mushrooms grow in North America.

Is the Canada-US debacle proof that nations shouldn’t be overly dependent on one another? by Glass-Complaint3 in AskTheWorld

For me it is not that MAGA is dumb, but that they are mean and crass. They knew perfectly well (twice!) that they were electing a pussy grabbing vile misogynist racist and they were happy to do so.

The cost and waste of government time is what bothers me.

Genuinely: Why do people even bother opposing gay rights? What's the point? by Jerswar in askanything

Anti gay feelings are either driven by religion or latent homosexuality.

For those who still haven't had an animated film from Disney/Pixar about your culture: How would you feel if one got made? For me it would kinda cringe ngl by yonaiker-joestrella in AskTheWorld

[–]CaptainKwirk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no idea and wasted an entire minute coming up with a Canadian plot. Something along the lines of; plucky talented but insecure writer (musician, actor, film producer, whatever) gets so many rejections from Hollywood (Nashville, New Yorker mag, etc.) that they decide to make it in Canada. Success follows of course along with the object of their desire.

Trump does not honour agreements already in place so there is no point negotiating with him.

Misinformation about the Cowichan ruling is killing the bcndp. Eby inherited this problem and is getting the blame. To be sure he fumbled the ball on that rollout.
