The story appeared in the same issue of The Vancouver Province, newspaper as did the crack pipe story. It appeared on page A24, which is about as buried as a story can be. In 2002, one John Chiasson (I think I did time with this guy), was fired from his job at the Alberta tar sands project for the crime of being exposed to pot smoke sometime in the past 45 days.
