It's no big deal. What does bother me is that so many people are having their lives ruined for nothing. Decriminalization is an urgent first step. And like you I see many benefits to legalization. Not the least of which would be taking the profits out of the hands of criminal organizations, and ploughing at least some of them into things like medicare and social programs. What we need is a serious, fact-based discussion instead of fearmongering and ignorance...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-61367748979947832332013-08-25T03:00:35.146-04:002013-08-25T03:00:35.146-04:00hi Cathy...I'm not advocating drug use of any ...hi Cathy...I'm not advocating drug use of any kind. If you can get high on just life that's ideal. But what I am saying is that I consider marijuana a far better and safer drug than alcohol, and I'm sick to death of the hypocrisy...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-33778629581139236422013-08-25T02:58:11.385-04:002013-08-25T02:58:11.385-04:00hi anonymous...you know I really have no time for ...hi anonymous...you know I really have no time for older Canadians who spend their time putting down the young. It's simply pathetic, and says more about you than it says about them. As for the marijuana issue, as I said in my post it's a symbol of change, and should not be underestimated. Your calcified mind may be incapable of understanding that, but there is a real appetite for change out there, and it may very well make Trudeau Prime Minister...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-55563174322278357502013-08-24T19:28:02.945-04:002013-08-24T19:28:02.945-04:00So Trudeau Jr. likes a toke.

At 64 it would be nice to think we can finally civilize our country and not send people to jail for weed. that has ruined a lot of lives.<br /><br />If people want to grow and smoke it, that is their business. As long as they don't get behind the wheel of a car, I'm fine with it. If it were legalized, it could be taxed! Prohibition was repealed because they American government needed the tax money. Eventually the same will happen with weed. It will also save a ton of money not having to police it, send people to trial, or jail. Best of all it is going to take a lot of money out of the pockets of organized crime. Let legitimate farmers grow the stuff and be done with it. <br /><br />The money saved can be used to deal with other crimes, like meth labs, white collar crime, politicians taking money they shouldn't, big corporations ripping off the public.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-16549420170867340192013-08-24T13:20:55.496-04:002013-08-24T13:20:55.496-04:00 smoke some dope like JT and most of the rest of u... smoke some dope like JT and most of the rest of us or just be a dope like harper and his holier than thou, often corrupt dopey ministers.<br /><br />CathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-18423399513502362042013-08-24T10:21:07.044-04:002013-08-24T10:21:07.044-04:00Relax, Simon.
