|  CAN: Marijuana popular among educated, middle-class: study Marijuana popular among educated, middle-class: study 05-15-08|Canada.com|Misty Harris ``People are finally starting to recognize that judges and lawyers and cops and doctors and other people who hold responsible jobs in society like to have a reefer,'' says Mulgrew, an award-winning writer from Vancouver. The Fraser Institute estimates Canada's marijuana industry is worth about $5. 7 billion at the wholesale level. It is reportedly second only to construction, and ahead of forestry, in terms of its contribution to the gross domestic product of British Columbia. Mulgrew says the trendiest pot paraphernalia - smokeless, and pricey, marijuana vaporizers - are largely targeted to health-conscious suburban dwellers that want to cut down on their inhalation of respiratory toxins and keep the odour of cannabis out of their upholstery. ``We're not talking about a 17-year-old buying a glass pipe and thinking it's a big investment,'' says Mulgrew. ``These are smart people with the disposable income to buy what amounts to a $700 hookah.'' |
