I'm somewhat divided on the legalization of cannabis. Aware of its health and social harms, obviously I'm morally opposed to it. Then the question becomes, can we best curb the use of cannabis by criminalizing it or legalizing it. There can be various points of view on that, though my main concern would be that the intent continue to remain to curb its use either way.
That aside, I think one of Reform's errors, perhaps its biggest error, was in fact to become a political party. Once an organized political party is established, dimwitted party hacks are bound to eventually steal the show. Instead, it would likely have been better for the Reform party to never run candidates but rather to merely support local candidates across the country whether they are running as independents or as members of other parties but who are independent thinkers none-the-less. By adopting a policy of never running a candidates of their own, the Reform Party could have served a unique purpose not so much in becoming a corrupt party itself or collapsing, but rather to simply keep other parties honest.
