I find it interesting that those who never smoked are falling for the recent version of Reefer Madness being spewed out there by the DEA to justify the War on Pot. I guess people just like getting hysterical over nothing.

Don't let the avatar fool ya; I'm a right wing, gun toting, member of the Conservative Party of Canada.............but when you're right, you're right....

Or perhaps I should say when you are correct, you are correct. :)

Oh, 'right' will do Colpy. :smile: I am with you on this one.

Legalize it. Sell it. Tax it. Destroy the black market and pay for healthcare.

That may not work for several reasons. First of all the largest number of users are under the legal age to drink. I doubt that they would be allowed MJ instead. Second, taxing it would make it expensive. Who would pay for taxed MJ when they could get untaxed MJ for a lower price? Third, legalizing MJ would add one more legal drug that would be freely available to Canadians. Given that legal drugs are the biggest problem
Canada has that might not be the best idea.

Good thinking, not to mention all the people who don't do it now because it is illegal may just start doing it. I'm more in favour of shooting importers and traffickers.

One does not have to mainline to know it is wrong. Every try base jumping? People do it even though it is a crazy stunt. Why take a risk that me kill you just for fun. If you need drugs (any mind altering substance) to have fun you are a very sick puppy.
