A good friend of mine is similar to this - always bitching about how hard it is for him to keep his head above the poverty line, how only the rich succeed, and how other countries really 'take care' of their people. He's never too short on cash for weed, though, and would rather spend days/weeks/months on a couch doing bong hits instead of socializing, furthering his career, pursuing a college degree, exercising, etc.

An other benefit to moving to Canada. The weed is much cheaper and is generally conceded to be among the best there is. In BC in particular it is (unofficially) one of the biggest cash crops in the Province. Something like 1/3 of the weed in the US now comes from BC. According to that MTV special anyway. Not being one who would waste my time smoking weed, I don't know. But that's what my friends say as well.

They also don't care as much about small pot possessions up there. (Not that they do in the states either, although I know most fines are between $1000 - $2000)

There is also working its way through the legal system serious questions regarding small time pot possession.
