“Don’t
bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit
your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense
obsessions mercilessly.”
— Franz Kafka
We die. That may be the meaning of life,” Toni Morrison observed from the Stockholm stage upon becoming the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize. “But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” A generation before her, Iris Murdoch — another woman of towering genius — wrote in weighing the salvational power of the written word: “The quality of a civilisation depends upon the scope and purity of its language.” Both culturally and biologically, language is the hallmark of our species — it is, as the great 19th-century biologist and anatomist Thomas Huxley noted upon reflecting on Darwin’s greatest legacy, what makes “every generation somewhat wiser than its predecessor” and more attuned to the fundamental truths of the universe.

Cannabis edibles and infused products could be $2.7B market, Deloitte estimates
The Canadian market for next-generation cannabis products is worth an estimated $2.7 billion annually, with edibles contributing more than half, according to a new report from Deloitte.
The federal government wrapped up its consultation on the draft edible rules in February, and has said the regulations must be brought into force no later than Oct. 17, 2019.
The introduction of cannabis-infused products are expected to challenge sales of established industries, including alcohol and pharmaceuticals. Production is expected to grow to 25,000 kilograms by the end of the current quarter.
