Cant really give you a fair opinion as i have only been here a couple of weeks,but in the US it varies from state to state,i am from San Bernardino and the closer to L.A you got the more liberal the menu became,and less controlled by LE yet in Nevada there is a lot more
structure to the bussiness which eliminates a lot of the problems(drugs,pimps etc.).
So untill i have got my teeth( or other parts
) into things here i will not pass judgement on the Canadian scene.
Will keep you posted.
