The transcripts of the Senate debate on the recently-amended drug bill are pretty amazing:
Hon. Claude Carignan: People often bring up the hypothetical situation of a youth who gets sent to jail for passing a joint to a friend. This bill has nothing to do with situations like that. Have any of you ever seen a three-kilogram joint?
Senator Comeau: That would be huge!
Senator Carignan: It would indeed be a huge joint.
restraint.org is a loose collection of writing, links, ravings, photos, news, fiction, and bad poetry by Jairus Khan. This website has been here (off and on) for ten years or so, and was around in various other forms for three or four years before that.
I spend most of my off-hours working (in Ottawa, Canada) to promote underground music, arts, and media, and trying to keep independent music from being smothered by the hopeless anachronism known as ‘the industry’. I DJ and promote concerts/festivals regularly, make occasional beep-beep noises in an industrial-metal band, and recently released a CC-licensed debut album for my own industrial-slash-experimental-electronic project, Ad·ver·sary.
When I’m not working with, promoting, listening to, or writing music, I design very angry websites, flyers, book jackets, and the sort for various arts projects. I supplement my music/design income (roughly enough to buy a pocketful of buttons a month) by developing counter-hacking courses and moonlighting as a web coordinator for the man.
I also bake very tasty cookies.

reminds me of an old Cheech and Chong game show spoof called “Let’s make a dope deal” :
The host asks Chong ‘How many joints are in an ounce? ‘ and he replies: “Two… I roll big joints man.”
Host: ‘our judges say that’s okay, they roll big joints too!’
Chong: “They must be from California man”
:D
