We actually have decriminalised marijuana here to a degree. Small amounts of marijuana in posession now gets off with a fine. I don't know exact amount, someone mind backing me up on how much it is? Shmad maybe knows.

Hi Gandalf! Welcome to the communtiy!
good to see mostly pro-legalisation people! The arguements are there in theory, but need to be tested in practice. It's one tax i wouldn't mind so much paying!
I noticed the mention of the term 'gateway'. Made my blood boil, until it was explained to be different from the US government's ant-pot propaganda machine.
The bill to decriminalise will have to start again, from what i've read, which is a very frustrating thing indeed.
I'm from the UK and it would be good to help our arguement for legalisation if Canada was successful in introducing cannabis legalisation or at least starting off with decriminalisation.

It is only because I have become so involved of late in the marijuana movement that I reply to this post. I believe the NDP have got the right attitude and approach regarding the political harms of marijuana and their efforts to legalize it should be applauded.
I met Jack Layton in Toronto at the Victory Gala and he seems right on to me not just on legalizing marijuana but the environmental issues as well. For those interested in this subject there is a wealth of information on our site about the upcoming events in Canada this summer.

Why not legalize it? look how much its costing us to try to contain it, better yet look how much the US pays to control it. Pot isnt all that bad of a drug, its better for you then drinking and some might even say smoking. I say put warnings on box, tax the **** out of it and watch the money flow. Sure it will totally piss off usa, but hey we are Canadian, not american. I would suggest legalization in one province to start to act as a test. British Columbia is the obvoius choice
, its practicly legal already here.
