As the evening progressed, Celine took the stage, holding a small, elegantly crafted medal. “Henry, this is long overdue,” she began, her voice filled with emotion. “Prime Minister Jean le Castor has approved this special award for you. It depicts an image of a half maple and half cannabis leaf. This honor is for having a heart of gold, your philanthropic efforts to good causes, your contribution to society, and being the biggest employer in the Canadian Expanse.”
Henry was visibly touched as Celine pinned the medal to his lapel. The room erupted in applause, and several speeches followed, each one praising the incredible food and the man behind it.
Later in the evening, Henry unveiled a special dessert he had created for the occasion: “The Mandoleer’s Folly Mocha Mousse Cake.” It was a masterpiece—a cake filled with cannabis-infused coffee mousse, encased in a hard chocolate shell.
Henry had gone above and beyond to ensure his guests’ comfort, reserving his hotel on the Capilano Forest Moon for the crew. He wasn’t done celebrating with them yet; two more feasts awaited—a cannabis-infused breakfast and lunch. Most of the crew turned in early, feeling the effects of Henry’s award-winning weed.
However, Spacedawg and the Alchemist decided to stay up late, chatting with Henry. They enjoyed blunts and sipped on Henry’s 15-year cannabis-infused whiskey, the euphoria enhancing their camaraderie. They watched the stars for a while, reminiscing about old times before finally heading to the hotel to sleep off the euphoric buzz.
