> Travis also said that while $18 million is a lofty number, it is not the official bond set by a judge. Prior to a bond hearing, crimes have preset bond figures and the preset bond for each one of her counts is $25,000. The $18 million number is a cumulative total amount based on the preset figure set for the over 800 counts she faces.

The number is insane, but it would be completely different if a judge had given this instead. Most likely it will be heavily reduced.

No, they're not selling it over the counter to anyone who asks. So it's not legal yet. The argument I keep hearing about companies that try selling it, online or in a store, is for harm reduction. They say they want to eliminate street dealers selling toxic drugs by offering a safer alternative. I can only believe that if they sell it at a higher potency and reduced cost while generating just enough profit to stay active. Otherwise, they're just more of the same typical dealers, cutting their shit with pig dewormer to inflate their product and max out their profits.

Wow, I got to the end of the article before I realized this was Perth, Scotland and not Perth, Western Australia. The article started talking about the ancient roots to the Stone of Destiny and I was confused that the museum was honoring Scottish immigrants instead of the Whadjuk Noongar People.

Truly wonderful headline - here's the details:

>Health Canada clarified the parameters for granting the licence, saying the company is licensed to sell for scientific and medical purposes only.

>"They cannot sell products to the general public," the federal department said.

>Adastra Labs can only sell to other licence holders who have cocaine listed on their licence, namely pharmacists, practitioners, hospitals, or the holder of an exemption for research purposes, Health Canada said.
