The 600-page Senate report on Cannabis comes after two years of studying the issue and interviews with 234 witnesses across Canada and around the world.
"Scientific evidence overwhelmingly indicates that cannabis is substantially less harmful than alcohol, and should be treated not as a criminal issue but as a social and public-health issue," said the committee's chair, Senator Pierre Claude Nolin.
The report calls for a system whereby marijuana can be sold in a similar fashion to alcohol and tobacco, except with a lower age limit of 16 years. The federal government would issue licenses for cultivation and sale.
The Senate report also calls for Canada's 600,000 criminal records for pot possession to be erased, and for medical access to be expanded.
Other recommendations include having school drug awareness programs no longer being taught by police.

Nothing wrong with smoking a little bud now and again and it would be nice to purchase it at the local corner store (like Da Kines was doing) just for the convenience. Cigs and booze are just as bad if not worse for you and it is time to get over this silliness and legalize outright marijuana. I believe part of it is those anti drug lunatics south of the border, why marijuana is not legal here. :hippy2:
yeah the won't let you smoke pot but they'll sell you perscription drugs that are worse for you. You don't hear of any hit and runs when someone has been smoking pot. I say sell it and tax it to hell (within reason) and put the dangerous drug dealers out of business.
