Misleading articles about Head2Head once again.
The owner of Head 2 Head, Tim Selenski, is very upset once again to have people in the media trying to publicly slander and destroy the reputation of his business while helping others flourish on supporting drug cartels and capitalistic businesses. It seems not even a full year can go by without the newspapers or television news stories misleading the public about the most controversial head shop in Canada. This is holding back the progress of one of the most important revolutionary movements of mankind.
In the past, there have been countless twists on words used by the media that imply the shop closing, moving, and even having a completely different location. For example, one story released across the country was titled, ”Legal Grower forced to B.C”. Realistically, no legal grower was forced anywhere. Infact Tim Selenski, the grower of whom they were speaking of, was actually struggling to obtain insurance for his home and shop. He was being refused insurance and discriminated against from local agencies due to the “type of business” he ran- “marijuana related”. Being related to a medicine that has been prescribed across the country by doctors through Health Canada for over 6 years to treat countless ailments such as cancer, epilepsy, anxiety, eating disorders, etc, you would think that government agencies would be more than happy to support this establishment. This was not the case. Tim later obtained this insurance out of Edmonton(The only province in Canada that had less than 50% supporting marijuana legalization). However, because of this article released, many people (including long-time customers) were under the impression that Head 2 Head was no longer in the Queen City, but instead closed up and moved west. With the memory of reading “Legal grower forced to B.C”, they were genuinely surprised when they drove by to see their favourite shop still open and growing, especially after seeking help elsewhere for months thinking they’d lost the Queen City’s top shop. This is only the beginning of how the media has slandered this business.
The latest article regarding the shop was no better. This was released by the University of Regina’s Student Newspaper “the Carillon” Vol.52, Issue.9 on November 5. First of all, Jim Selenski does not own Head 2 Head. Tim Selenski owns Head 2 Head. It’s not difficult to spell, nor to spell check and so to have a completely wrong name seems completely inappropriate. Secondly, next to a very brief description of the shop, there has been a convenient misprint of the address. How is it so hard to make sure you are giving the public a proper address? Now when people are searching for the education, information and guidance Head to Head offers, they will be wrongfully directed to a location that lacks all of the above. The shops proper address is 2923 Dewdney Avenue in Regina, Sask, and will remain there as long as this war on drugs continues.
This is very infuriating to the dedicated crew at Head2Head. Thanks to long hours, dedication and hard work the shop has recently doubled in size to prepare for the Christmas season. What a blow it is to the shop to finally have some publicity where it could really make a difference (University) and have the article sending people to the wrong address looking for a guy named Jim to help them. It is absolutely ridiculous.
Head2 Head is a shop dedicated to properly educating the public on marijuana, the world’s most promising plant. There is space for medical users to try vaporization, a safer method of inhalation, after 5p.m Mon-Fri. There is an abundance of information covering the walls inside the shop and high-quality glass at the most reasonable prices in the city. The crew is made up of only a few, but each member is highly educated on the medicinal values of this herb, strains, grow methods, how to go about acquiring your own marijuana license, dangers of supporting the black market, dangers of improperly grown cannabis and the list goes on.
It is almost ironic that a shop who believes so much in surfacing the truth in the world can be so misunderstood due to the lack of truth in the media. Luckily, HeadShopCanada can clear up any of these misconceptions and misleading articles for those who know to check it out. So please, when you hear or read anything about the shop, do check out the site to make sure you are not being misled by the middleman editor and games of the media. This site is made by real people, like you and we are not here to play the guessing games about what is information and what is propaghanda.
If you are a writer, journalist, editor, or whatever, please consider the power of your articles and stop with the bullshit. The world deserves to know truths and if you have the power to provide truth, don’t change words and meanings to impress a particular crowd, impress the rest of the world with the ability to believe in what you say. Life is now, and it could be your only chance to really make a positive difference. We’ve got to do this together! Thanks for taking time to read this post. Your comments are highly appreciated.

Luckily HSC is for anyone and everyone to voice there opinions, finally making the media a little more real. If we all communicate and work together, things will resolve themselves before long. Just takes a little dedication. ;)
the media is controlled by the government, whether we can see it or not. the only way for us to fight the war on marijuana, is to let people decide for themselves. and i can almost guarantee you that every person in the government today has smoked weed at least once, and they’re scared to make weed legal because then the people would have no faith in the government. well all i have to say about that, is if they’re so scared, then why is there a government?
