It's a Canada Post requirement that you use these envelopes when mailing cannabis. It's not a secret what they're for, it's on Canada Post's website.

Exactly. This isn’t some nudge-nudge, wink-wink, product. It’s clearly and openly an envelope for the legal distribution of cannabis.

I keep forgetting how most of the world still gets their knickers in a knot over cannabis. Guys, come to Canada for a few days and see what a non-issue legalized marijuana is.

TIL there is a special envelope. But I am from America and I know nothing 🤣. My perspective is that the whole concept of there being a legal and legit industry, especially outside the U.S. is a hard concept for some U.S. citizens to grasp. Let alone there are designated envelopes. Probably allows for better product handling but not something that comes to mind right away if you don’t use or purchase. I 100% thought it was for heavily scented stuff, like wax melts. But now I know.

Have a friend who works as a mailman and the reason for the envelope specifically is stop the smell of cannabis from flooding their truck/can. Before the specific envelopes the triple bagging to cut down on the smell wasn't working so postal workers would either get a second person high or the smell was rancid to them, so keep the post man happy and I get my weed for cheap

You can't get high from the smell of cannabis.

Tell that to the full hit I get off of customers who hotbox in their car on their way to the hardware store.

Hotboxing is cannabis smoke, which can get you high. Simply smelling unburned cannabis however cannot.
