I would like to see what a doctor thinks.

Bureaucrats interferre with doctor-patient confidentiality by recommending medicine allowances

Health Canada: Marijuana Is it safe

Do possession laws make a difference to young people?

Medical Use of Marihuana

MARIHUANA MEDICAL ACCESS REGULATIONS

Considering that all this paper work is having the effect of making prescription drugs the next weed I don't see a legitimate reason for the current set up except political. It's isn't lethal like smoking, it is not manufactured like alcohol and it can be grown anywhere without blowing up a basement like a meth lab. Banning alcohol is a non-starter. I can't understand how anyone would support such an unfeasible approach. Might as well ban air while your at it.

look how prohibition fared back in the 1930s

[Mr_Canada old]

Heh. Prohibition...

America would have completely crumbled if Canadians didn't come to their rescue during their prohibition... lol

Smoking I believe should be legal (yes its harmful to health) because it does not impair judgment.

I am not one for a nanny state.

But I believe that any substance that effects the judgment and mind of a person that serves no necessary purpose to uphold a person's normal life, should be illegal.

That includes alcohol, I would support a ban of all hard liquours, not beer as it has a very low-to nill effect on judgment unless you have tons.

And I am not saying I am against anti-depressants, etc. they are necessary to function for a normal life.

If we allow these things it leads to the denigration of society.

I wonder to myself why so many people today need a crutch like pot to get through life? Do their lives suck so bad that they need constant escape? I worked with young people that couldn't even go through the entire work day without getting high at work.

In other words, you are one for a nanny state - you're just picking and choosing which personal choices need to be controlled by laws based on your own arbitrary standards.

Oh, and the day you try to take my rum away from me is the day you find out if there's an afterlife.

If we would put this issue to bed and legalize it can you image how much of our policing resources that would be freed to actually police our communities. Police don't respond to car accidents or home breakins because they say they are stretched to thin. They give you a file number for your insurance company. Would you rather the police investigate home breakins or pot smokers? The majority of our policing monies are tied up in narcotics, who decided the "War on drugs" was more important than safe communities. I'd like to see a war waged on teenaged punks who terrorize my town, snot nosed little bullies who block the road forming a human chain while they taunt the driver. This is a real issue to me, pot I could careless if someone smokes it in the privacy of their home.

I'd be highly surprised if the police even put much effort in now to bust some pot smokers. More than likely anyone that gets busted with pot just happened to get caught. I'm sure the police are more interested in the harder drugs and the smugglers. Also decriminalizing pot will not stop the police from arresting pot smugglers. It just means potheads that get caught will get a ticket rather than a court date.

Smoking is an addiction ergo it impairs judgment.

Also, look here. Smoking is legal but is going down because its treated as a health issue not a criminal one with proper labeling and a controlled release. Whereas pot use is at an all time high. *zing!* The criminal approach has never worked just ask Al Capone.

In a free and just society - given reasonable assurances that a person will not become a danger to themselves or others - 'I want to' is a perfectly valid reason for doing or owning anything. This applies to everything from wanting to hold a gay pride parade or smoke marijuana to wanting to own a gun.


I have seen no evidence that smoking marijuana makes you a danger to yourself or others.

They do tend to enjoy sitting around alot.....watching all those rhoda re runs.Maybe this time they will understand what the show was about The reason it is not legal is because those pot heads can't get enough energy to get off the couch and go to the court house . I know this gut he is awesome on the guitar but Pot has left him without any ambition to go any where in his life
