Too many people smoke WEED!

If u still wanted to slang legally work for the cannabis club.

Lucky me I get my club card in 2 weeks since its my 18th birthday so I will be able to get the dankest stuff legally

you might think that, but look back to the last generation. I'm sure they were all saying the same thing in 1968 when everyone was smoking weed and doing LSD, but those kids all grew up, got jobs, started to put on a tie, and before they knew what happened they were voting republican.

I think it'd be too hard to regulated a persons "bakedness". I don't think (correct me if im wrong) that there's any kind of blow test that can read THC in the blood, so they're not gonna be able to say you can only be this high to DRIVE, BE IN PUBLIC, ETC..

Hello, my name is Nic Sun, representative of the Chronservative Party of Canada. Our party has three major proposals in mind. Our first and biggest goal would be to lower income tax and GST rates in Canada. We believe that the current tax rates are higher than necessary, and the current federal government is spending much more money than necessary, and it could be more refined and limited. The proposed deduction would be 2.25% on GST, and 1% on income tax. If we were in power, we would also change they way that Canadians shop. We would like to harmonize GST and PST taxes into the prices on all taxed goods. This would ensure that you pay what is on the price tag. You might be wondering how we would go about lowering taxes by such rates. The way that we would go about doing this would be by legalizing marijuana, marketing it, and applying a sales tax of 15% or more, overtop of the regular GST and PST rates. Doing so would be likely to balance out the amount of funds lost from the GST and income tax deductions. According to Statistics Canada, 14% of the Canadian population used marijuana in 2004. This is generally not a very conservative point of view, however our party name does not accurately represent our ideological status. Now some people might think that marijuana is a dangerous substance that should never be legalized. Contrary to what some people think, marijuana is not a very harmful drug. It is much less harmful than tobacco and alcohol. In fact, zero deaths occurred due to marijuana abuse in the US last year, whereas 450,000 people died from tobacco, and 150,000 from alcohol. It is also stated by CBC News that approximately 150,000 dollars would be saved in court costs each year if marijuana was legalized. The DEA estimated that 4 billion dollars worth of marijuana crop is produced each year in BC alone. Therefore, with the legalization of marijuana, this industry could become legitimate, and GST and income tax rates could be decreased significantly. This would allow us to work for you, at a lower cost.

Hello, my cost.

Hello,

I think the government makes way too much money off of seizures and citations to ever settle for just taxing and selling it.

I would love to see numbers on how much bank the U.S. gets just from fines due to weed and cash seized in weed busts alone.

I was actually just talking with someone about this yesterday and it seems it's only still illegal because of the plant( or whatnot) that marijuana comes from, which can be used to make hemp and lots of other things.  The government doesn't want to legalize marijuana apparently because it would make this plant more freely available and mess up the economy/industry or whatever if it was legal for companies to own the plant and mass-produce the products it can yield.  Don't quote me on all that though. 

I would like to believe the same but look at it this way. The generation of smokers in the 60's and 70's grew up and were able to vote. They probably smoked more than we do now. They vote but still no legalization.
