@DinobambinoDean @FoodProfessor Hi there! My name is Elissa, and I'm a reporter with The Globe and Mail looking at Canadians choosing cannabis over alcohol. I'd love to chat with you about the thinking behind your choice - could you please email me at emendes@globeandmail.com? Thanks and take good care!
