Canadian Gucci Mane Fans Celebrate Weed Legalization on 1017 Day

Today is a very good day for anyone in Canada and/or anyone down with the Gucci Mane gospel. If you fall under both categories, we all envy you.

Per a bill that passed over the summer, anyone who's 18 years of age or older will now be gifted with the opportunity to carry up to 30 grams in public. Additionally, the cultivation of as many as four household plants and the crafting of savory edibles for personal use is also now allowed. Welcome to the future how it should have been for everyone everywhere since the beginning of time, Canada.

Wednesday's date, notably, is Oct. 17 a.k.a. 10/17 a.k.a. 1017 Day. Naturally, thanks to the sheer joy that overcomes an individual upon realization that 1017 Day has dawned, some are understandably rolling the Canada legalization and Gucci Mane-related celebrations into one. There's even a very good Noisey article about the importance of doing exactly that.


Nationwide legalization officially makes Canada "more relevant and cool than the United States of America," writes Devin Pacholik, speaking with startling accuracy. Pacholik added that the U.S. now only has Flamin' Hot Cheetos and the state of Florida to its name, neither of which are desirable.
