    In 2020-2021 this Canadian government made 40 billion in tax dollars for all types of canibas products….why not illicit drugs ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ™„

    Tim Horton should start selling pot donuts

  7. @BlacqueJacqueShellacque_ on August 26, 2025 at 3:48 pm

    Seems like the logical thing to do is just let Tim’s start selling weed. That would be handy. Joint, Donut, cup of coffee = win.

    Quality over quantity bb

    Liberal mind control

    ** Cannabis Store ** – not ‘pot shop’ lol

  11. @BetterYet on August 26, 2025 at 3:52 pm

    Amusing story however I believe that Canadian society will rue the day that marijuana was legalized.

  12. @B.D.F. on August 26, 2025 at 3:52 pm

    This has already happened in my city.

  13. @chrisministerofsmartarsery3322 on August 26, 2025 at 3:53 pm

    Reported on True North, recent court documents state the liberal travel mandate had no scientific justification.

  14. @grahammcfadyenhill9555 on August 26, 2025 at 3:53 pm

    I will bet money that the food at the pot shops is better than the slop Tim’s is offering.

  15. @canadianguy-nl1xw on August 26, 2025 at 3:55 pm

    Kinda hypocritical, how long ago was it that there were more liquor stores than tim hortons?

  16. @LET_ER_EAT_RACING629 on August 26, 2025 at 3:59 pm

    Should have never been legalized. It should have been just decriminalized.

  17. @rupertperiwinkle4477 on August 26, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    Gross.

  18. @Sam-l1f3p on August 26, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    Too many

  19. @ztracks7600 on August 26, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    I had to laugh yesterday. I got off the highway at Lancaster Ontario to get some Tims coffee. Across the street there was a new Cannibas store. Attached to it a Subway , then a Dairy Queen and a few hundred yards a gas station with a McDonalds. If pot induces the munchies they got you covered there lol.

  20. @Mooseracks on August 26, 2025 at 4:02 pm

    SOON …. heroin, Methamphetamine.. Crack…fentanyl… As the liberal government and NDP push forward with decriminalization…NEXT WILL BE DISTRIBUTION

  21. @ashatan4554 on August 26, 2025 at 4:02 pm

    I wonder how many public servants are at home stoned all day? Would explain why we canโ€™t get any service.

  22. @d.r.tweedstweeddale9038 on August 26, 2025 at 4:06 pm

    Why not combine them, Tim Horton’s Coffee Pot Shop. Save me a trip.

  23. @hairydude4020 on August 26, 2025 at 4:06 pm

    So?

  24. @dannysee1 on August 26, 2025 at 4:06 pm

    Grow your own itโ€™s easy, get rid of these fools.

    Well we all knew Toronto is a drug ridden City.

  26. @freebie808 on August 26, 2025 at 4:10 pm

    Decriminalization

  27. @Lvlaple4Ever on August 26, 2025 at 4:10 pm

    Yikes. The degeneration of society continues.

    You say that, yet the pot shop which opened up the street from me was out of business after a year.

  32. @Bel-ri4vz on August 26, 2025 at 4:18 pm

    If alcohol can be sold in grocery stores, so should cannabis.

  37. @CreeGuy on August 26, 2025 at 4:29 pm

    If anyone has seen the movie Duece Bigalow, European Gigalow thatโ€™s how our coffee shops are going to turn out lol
