I would like to take a moment to congratulate The Star and feature writer Mitch Potter on a job well done in their representation of the modern day cannabis issue. Although the article's content was excellent, I would like to point out that the caption accompanying my photograph is exactly the type of misrepresentation we have been trying to overcome these past six years. We are not a "high end head shop," we are a "high end HEMP shop" or "Cannabis culture shop." The difference is important. The difference is what we don't sell. Although we do stock a large selection of herbal smoking accessories, we do not sell "drug paraphernalia." Our shop caters to a diverse clientele and features an extensive selection of hemp clothing, cosmetics, foods and accessories from around the world. Robin Ellins Toronto - --- MAP posted-by: Thunder
