2 h. ago Trendy cannabis brand appears to have shut down all Toronto locations

A line of cannabis dispensaries that made a big splash across Ontario appears to be going the way of the dodo, with all locations in the province but one closing down for good.Could it be? The dispensary boom that's made Toronto the butt of wide-spread jokes over the years (which we laughed along with, because, when there's a dispensary every 200 metres, you find yourself laughing a lot for whatever reason,) is finally coming to an end?Well, not exactly.When cannabis was finally legalized in Canada back in 2018, it took infinite patience and a healthy amount of tongue-holding to convince my parents that the good-old devil's lettuce isn't bad or evil, and that the people who use it aren't (exclusively) grubby hippies.

Built around 1915 by Scarborough builder John C. Morrish, who (fun fact) also built Highland Creek Public School, 456 Manse Rd. is one of those Toronto heritage homes that people dream about. According to the listing, the home was originally built for Thomas Jacques, whose family were among Scarborough's early settlers. The home spans three storeys and is a true gem with exceptional craftsmanship. The front entrance. Throughout the house, you'll notice original features like stained glass windows, intricate crown moulding, solid wood trim and doors, and hardwood floors. The dining room. Those original features definitely give the house its historic charm and character. One of the bathrooms. The bold patterned wallpaper and extravagant furnishings also give it character. The living room. Some might say that type character is a bit too much, but if you can look past the beige-toned maximalism and shag carpeting, this house is...
