obviously...

...you don't know any alcoholics or friends/family of alcoholics.
If you did you would know alcohol is far more destructive and dangerous (potentially).

Yeah... we're in a society where abuse of substances is skyrocketed! It doesnt really matter whats legal and whats not. There's not going to be a change in who gets weed, who abuses weed and who uses it sparingly.

The #1 point of legalization is, IMHO, the removal of these dealers on the street providing people with dangerously laced weed. Some of these kids are smoking weed laced with crack without even realizing it!

Get your act together Canada!

(BTW, re: czardogs point.. Canadians should show the americans we have initiative... Because I think Canadians in general do, however these leftwing puppets are always being elected into power).

Well even though I dont agree with the liberals on anything much of the time, I do have to agree that de-criminalization is a step in the right direction to remove drug dealers and dangerously laced Marijuana from our streets and away from our children.

I agree

I am totally for legalizing weed. People make a bigger deal out of then it really is. More people die selling it illegally then they do driving stupidly. I still say its going to be legal eventually everywhere. Weed is AWESOME!

i thenk that drugs should be legal. it should be treated gust like alcohole. it would save billions o tax paiers dallers on the war agenst drugs. insted they can yous that money to help cure illneses like aids. but no the need donationss to do that dont they. this is the sort of thing that pisses me off.
 
Legalize Marajuana? Yes. It's really only a "gateway" drug because it is such an easy drug to get. The government should sell it and tax the hell out of it like they do for sugar, oil, cigarettes, and booze.
There are a few other minor drugs that should be legalized and allowed in controlled environments.
But frankly, the notion of legalizing all drugs is foolhardy. Crack can kill someone the FIRST time they use it, and is EXTREMELY adictive. Heroine is less dangerous but equally adictive.
The arguement of "legalize everything and let the idiots die" is novel and fun to laugh over...but it's amazing how many idiots we are realated to and don't know it. In the end legalkizing ALL drugs would only hurt a society not help it.
Government is supposed to be an angel. It watches over you, ensures you are safe, and makes you do the things you don't -want- to do, but should do none the less.

Marijuana in Canada has been moving in the right direction to legalization, currently de-criminalization of the drug is happening, lots of people are happy with this, and the government will eventually legalize it and begin selling it increasing tax dollars, this would be great for the economy and help subsidize other programs that were cut back like health, etc..

Crack, etc should NOT be legalized, there is no reason for it to be, its highly addictive, a HUGE health hazard and kills more than automobile accidents do per capita. I agree with WulF on his points entirely, and like I've been saying for quite some time, legalization will happen fully.. when who knows.. but it will... at least in Canada...
 
Re: LEGALIZE IT!

Headline: Canada acheives economic dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

When asked how this occurs Profesor Guywhoknowsalotastuff said that the act of legalizing marajana, also call pot because it is easier to spell, was the driving force.
It began with booms in tourism. Many Americans and other folks around the world began to make Canada the premier tourist destination after that "Dell Kid" stated in an interview...

"Dude, me and the guy from the Daily Show, that skinny black dude, Willy Nelson, and the fat kid from 'stand by me' were all getting lit up in Vancouver...which is legal! I mean, we were smoking -with- the cops...how cool is that!
Well, we were smoking tons of pot up there and Dave [skinny black dude] said. 'You know? Ain't nuttin' better'n getting high in Canada with cops...except getting high in Canada with cops and then eating pootine!' You see, pootine is a stoners dream. They took everything a pothead has a craving for and threw it all onto on plate. Frenchfries, cheese, bacon, and gravy."

Well, that interview didn't circulate until an American right wing conservative attacked it. America was in the middle of it's war with the Axis of Not America and also in the middle of a moral battle over everything from pre-marital sex to turely defining LuShes as hot, sexy, or just plain yummy. And in this the conservatives were flabergasted to see that a substance that could destroy the youth of amercia was legal in canada. He went on the news and ranted. At that moment 260 million americans looked at each other and asked "Is pot legal in Canada?"
Over night 60 million people called in sick to work (Unemployment had risen to 77% at this point so this was almost every worker in the US) and went to Canada to either protest, or to smoke up.
America's economy failed...after 4 hours wall street realised no one was working and that was the end of American capitalism.
Blamed for the failure of the right Americans were outraged. They asked to become a province of Canada. When asked why everyone cited "the pot thing" as thier main reason.
The taxation of thier crop to the 50 states as well as export duties more than made up for any damage the colapse of the US had had on the canadians.
In the following 5 years America reverted to a sort of "frontier" life.
The blacks in the south took it upon themselves to get thier 40 acres and thier mule promised to them long ago. And found little resistance as years of life on the street and military service had provided them the skills to strong arm suburban whites. But the whites felt this was okay because they felt guilty.
The remaining factions of conservatives said another civil war was evident...bu once people realised that conservatives were saying it they realized they must be doing the right thing. So blacks, whites, and other minorities learned to live as equals.

The moral of this story?
Legal Pot=Good

Re: LEGALIZE IT!

I think Cannabis should be legal too so here's some info for those interested

Good Day All,

Time to post an update for the upcoming Canabian Day II events on Aug 21. Hoping that there will be an event in four cities this year we have so far arranged the following;

Marko Ivancicevic is looking after Toronto and he's focusing on having the event at Queens Park. Expect his post and updates soon.

Matt Mernagh and Kevin Taylor are looking after Niagara Falls. The parks being considered there are Grassy Brook, John Alan and Fireman's Park (Open to Suggestions). Support in Niagara seems to be growing daily. My daughter Amy has offered to assist with the bands and entertainment and will be contacting Matt and Kevin soon. Niagara Falls has never had such an event and this year they have had the Hwy 420 Smoke Out and will rock to the Canabian Day II as well. What a wonderful feeling.

In Hamilton Chris Goodwin is looking after the event there and is investigating several avenues and ideas which he will be submitting soon. I expect this event to be one that will really get noticed.

In Ottawa we have yet to receive any updates from Jody Pressman but he is extremely busy with the very important upcoming Fill The Hill rally and it is taking up 100% of his time so, maybe after the event we can get some activity there. Marko has said he will be sending out a few "feelers" to try and firm up the Ottawa event.

Here is where we stand with sponsors for the events as of today (Sunday).

Puff Mama Bakery (confirmed)
Heads Tattoo Niagara Falls (confirmed)
Advanced Nutrients (confirmed)
Treating Yourself (confirmed)
Hemp Users Medical Access Network (confirmed)
Chronic Candy (confirmed)
Spectrum Lighting (confirmed)
Niagara Compassion Society (confirmed)

Niagara Falls Antique Emporium (to be confirmed)
Roach A Rama Hot Box (to be confirmed)
Toronto Hemp Company (to be confirmed)
Hidden Jungle (to be confirmed)
Iron seed sales (to be confirmed)
Spiritual Smoke Niagara Falls (to be confirmed)
Friendly Stranger (to be confirmed)

Any one interested in setting up a booth at any of these events or interested in getting more information please get in touch (info@cannabiscanada.ca to arrange your table and or advertising. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Also, Craig from Frank Discussion and his Cannabis Media Group have offered to do the posters, flyers and banners for the event and this should ensure that we have only the finest quality material for distribution. If all goes as smooth as it is now perhaps Canabian Day flags will make their debut this year.

Also Heads Tattoo in Niagara has put Canabian Day, Fill The Hill and Hempfest Flyers on his counter and if possible would like to have posters to put on the walls of his business. Spiritual Smoke has too and they have already have a small Fill The Hill Poster in the window but would benefit from a regular sized one as well as a Hempfest one. I will be going to Niagara again in about a week but if anyone is going south sooner and can drop some off please let me know.

Lets ban alchool and cigarettes rather... We must have fun in life, we only live once. Though that fun cannot infringe on others right. Marijuana, is brought back to what it was (threw goverment control), could be more or less dangerous then Alchool. On the health level, it would be compared to cigarettes. If it ever is legalised, I hope they leave this up to the provinces. And also, that it remains in goverment control. Lets not make this another tabacco type of venture. Compagnies intentionnaly putting new substances into it for added addiction.
