Dr. Paul Hasselback, who chairs the council, said medical experts are not asserting the drug is safe, but that policy as it stands puts the public at even greater risk.
"We need to acknowledge that our current approach to some of our substance-use policies is perhaps not as evidence-based as it should be," he said.
Every day more and more people wake up to this reality. Some day our politicians will catch up.
Or making it illegal to download a song the radio stations play for free anyway.
Yeah, the CPC has been working on some important legislation.
Like owning guns sans registry?

Wow, way to be obtuse there OTI
Do you pay to listen to songs on the radio? I don't know where you live but there are a few good stations around here that I listen to and I've never been charged a penny to listen to them.
Then there's the bazillion stations you can get over the internet.
So yeah, the music is free to the listener.

What you do get is advertising mixed in with the songs. So if you want to download songs for free, they should have a little advert embedded in them.

Then word your comment properly.
Radio stations don't play music for free, as you said. Listening is free if you're willing to give up 20% of your hour to hear commercials.
I have Sirius and I don't listen to music on the normal radio very often. I'm a talk radio type of guy. My drive in to work would be filled with commercials.
Downloading songs/movies/tv shows via Gnutella/Torrents has always been illegal

You don't think this growing list speaks for the country or you don't think they should?
19 people do not speak for a country.
How about 50%?

Sit people down, give them the unbiased good and bad about legalizing such a drug....then take the poll.
Asking people that know little about the situation lends little to no credibility to such a poll.
It's like the debate over "natural" or "raw" milk. I'd betting most people would be for allowing the sale of natural milk as they don't know the pros and cons of such a product.

There's no such thing - most of it is speculation on both sides. I don't think prohibition works, or I'd be all for that. Tho I'd make sure that booze and cigs were also prohibited, since they cause way more damage than pot.
Countries that have eased up on their laws, such as Portugal do show a positive effect. It's not a panacea, but as we can see, current laws aren't either.
The responsible people want to treat it as a public health issue, rather than a criminal one. That means it's a not all anything goes, but putting people in jail for using or growing small quantities isn't the answer either. Regulated production, regulated distribution is the way to go.

Albertans usually say the opposite of everyone else.
