"Legal", no.  But "not illegal", yes.  Which means you get subtle
advertisements for it in the newspapers, right after the comics.
I say Windsor has a lot in common with Nevada because, being a
border town, the foreign visitors from the states (where it is
illegal) come here instead.

That's because it's pretty much true.  This whole area lives and
dies with the auto industry.  The auto industry thrives, and the
city doesn't do too much  :]  The auto industry slumps, and Windsor
delapidates just a little more.  Many of the houses here are
wartime (WW2).
