Calling all smoker's
 
I hope this post is not in the incorrect area, if it is I apologize.
Would anybody know if you can buy hand rolled tobacco like Golden Virginia alike etc?

All sorts of tax free tobaco products on the reserve:sneaky:

Otherwise there's a "smokers shop" at my local mall, possibly something similar wherever you are?

It's around but few people do it. I've never seen anyone hand-roll. The papers are crap. The majority sold are probably not used for, er, ciggies.

I've never seen Golden but you can get Light Blue Drum which is close (been a while since I've smoked GV)...

The blue papers here are like silver ones at home, super thin..

2oz is around C$22 so it's comparable..

Just to add, they do just assume you're smoking dope if you're out & about enjoying a rollie..

Extremely not legal, and of variable quality. Or so I'm told. Very cheap though, apparently.

Didnt they do a study of butt ends outside government buildings in your neck of the woods and one in three or so were unmarked?

It wouldn't surprise me. Allegedly.

A lot of people here buy ready made tubes (paper & filter) & use a machine to make their own cigarettes using Players loose tobacco (Duty paid). I don't think all of these tubes have markings on them..

Other than "Suck here if you wish to die sooner" what markings do ciggies have anyway?

I did look into that a while back. I couldn't anwhere selling the necessaries. Obviously not too popular in these parts.
