do it for Science!

I've raved about vaporizers before, and the BCCCS has them for sale. They've also started a nifty rental program for members, where a $40 deposit and $8 fee lets one try out a Happy Vappy vaporizer for a week. Needless to say, GET IN LINE. So it's come my turn to go smoke-free for a week.
I'm also going to be road-testing and reporting back on a few other models NOT gotten thru BCCCS: the Volcano, and the iolite. One model that will NOT be making an appearance is the primitive BC Vaporizer - you actually have to unscrew a screaming-hot inverted jam jar to put your herb in the heater - MAJOR design fail. I can tell you right now, comparing the BC Vaporizer to any other model is like comparing a pointy stick dipped in dogshit to Mont Blanc fountain pens.

Reason # 452 to Love Canada [some more]: Socialized Medicine

Above: Fair Pharmacare [BC Pharmacare's income-based assistance program] rocks! The less, ahem, *impressive* your income, the less you pay for prescriptions. Hooray for relative poverty! This wasn't even the only prescription I had filled today; the receipts for three months of meds totaled $440.21, five bucks of which I was responsible for and which the pharmacy waived. If I had to pay this all myself right now, it would fucking FLATTEN me.
See that "PHN" on the upper right? That's your ID, your Personal Health Number, on your government-issued CareCard, which you show at any doctor, pharmacy or hospital. Thank you, Tommy Douglas.
I hope the US gets the healthcare Obama's been trying for. No one should have to choose between buying medicine or food. Or be scared of a word like "socialism".
