OH Canada! Gotta love it.

From their website;

The Friendly Stranger borrowed its name from the "Reefer Madness" propaganda that created cannabis prohibition. It was intended to scare people into believing that cannabis is an evil and deadly substance that should be avoided at all costs.

Truth is, this disinformation campaign worked! Prohibition is still in place. Every day we spread the truth about cannabis and work towards dispelling the myths and lies that are ingrained and perpetuated in our society.

It is our intention to reverse the damage caused by this type of disinformation campaign, and to restore cannabis to its rightful place in society: a substance that is recognized as far less harmful and definitely more socially acceptable than alcohol or tobacco.

The sign at their store on Queen Street is another one of those that uses neon to backlight the letters. Sorry, the shot didn't come out better.
