15 Canadian Stereotypes That Are Actually True

13. They Grow The Best Weed Outside Of Jamaica

This is something most people will not learn until they take a trip to British Columbia, the province on the west coast of Canada. With a climate that gets up to 40 degrees Celsius in the summer, a high level of humidity, and enough space to hide those expensive crops in enormous fields that will never be searched, BC has everything that growers need to create some of the best bud in the world. Most of the weed farmers in BC are able to hide their grow-ups amidst regular crops so that they can only ever be seen from the air, and it seems as though it is only a matter of time before Canada becomes the next country to legalize marijuana as it has become a multi-billion dollar industry in most provinces in the Great White North. It's also not surprising then that 4/20 is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Canadian calendar. The cloud of smoke surrounding the parliament buildings every year in protest of weed being illegal can be seen from quite a distance.
