The lost hour of sunlight in the morning hardly plays a role during the summer, especially because the sun rises early in the northern temperate zones. In the winter months, the savings in the afternoon are offset by the increased need for artificial morning light. This reasoning provides a clear advantage...

"This," Emery says, smiling at the minty-smelling weed, "is the top of the market." Across town, Dave Williams, an investigator for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, agrees--but he's not smiling.
