Here are a bunch of people making the exact same joke about Shoppers Drug Mart selling weed

Yesterday’s news that Shoppers Drug Mart had applied to become a licensed marijuana producer was entertaining for a number of reasons, not least because it positions sweater-wearing, Annex-dwelling Galen Weston as potentially the world’s biggest weed dealer. Mostly, though, people on Twitter were interested in the implications of the move for Shoppers’ Optimum program, which lets customers save up points for discounts. Observe:

It begins:

Optimum points? https://t.co/F1RkThUFRh

It appears that more than one person is interested in using their Optimum points to buy weed. What a coincidence.

My frequent user Optimum card! Points, baby!
Not really. I kid.
I've got my maximum points for the year already. https://t.co/5ZjANPKhwE

Right, okay, so this is clearly the question on everybody’s mind:

Can you earn Optimum Points for weed? If so, you'd be the undisputed kings of distribution in Canada lol https://t.co/8O2iWJvRY1

This may turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to Rexall:

Shoppers wants to sell weed and fucking right my ass is getting an optimum card yup yup I collect points on that shit mhm

For the sake of the joke, a surprising amount of people were willing to imply publicly that they smoke a ton of weed:

My optimum points are gonna go through the roof. My cats are gonna get so much mascara. https://t.co/6bPqy6W5gY

But you can have both:

@ShopprsDrugMart Please stay away from the marijuana 'industry'. ☹️
I want high quality, affordable medical marijuana, not Optimum Points. ?

— Shaun Simpson (@ShaunTheShooter) October 25, 2016

Should be enough for at least half an ounce:

@unbrelievable I currently have $170 in Optimum points that I may save for a while because of reasons

Your meta humour doesn’t excuse you, sir:

Nervous weed dealers are already printing up coupons:

A whole new set of people are about to discover Optimum points: https://t.co/amRs5SOX4z

The jokes continue:

"Hi, yes, I would like to use my Optimum points for five whole marijuanas please." https://t.co/BaKVRsVZMI

Your Optimum point balance is not a measure of your self-worth:

I've been saving my optimum points since I was 16….

….Guess who just became super popular https://t.co/KmKKEsLIYi

This is the dream:

Shoppers Drug Mart wants to distribute weed? I'm going to be the Scrooge McDuck of optimum points

— Big Kris (@bigkrisradiodj) October 25, 2016

But this is the reality:

[very canadian tweet alert]
if you can't earn optimum points on your scripts you shouldn't be able to earn them for medical weed
