When Frank Smith was born in Montreal on March 12, 1918, the end of the First World War was still nine months away. The king was George V, grandson of Queen Victoria and great-grandfather of King Charles III.Frank enlisted in the army near the beginning of the Second World War and served as a truck driver at a Vancouver armament plant. He was kept from service overseas by an unusual reason.
Frank drove trucks and forklifts in Canada and was deployed with other soldiers to fight the occasional forest fire. Though Frank suffered serious hearing loss in the war, he never applied for or received a military service pension. When his children looked for benefits to help pay for Frank’s hearing aids, Veterans Affairs had no record of his service.Article content

As under-the-table market grows, patients urge Ottawa to regulate magic mushroomsThe psychoactive compound produced by the mushrooms – called psilocybin – is not legal in Canada but there are early clinical trials underway It's psilocin/psilocybin/magic mushrooms—not carfentanil. The government should fuck off and mind their own business (which they mostly are at this point, to be fair). A legal prodrug to psilocin like 4-AcO-DMT can be a better option as it permits more accurate dosing. Please don't.
