This is the first time ive ever agreed with you Strangler.
And Crono, I didnt mean people with petty problems use weed to solve their problems. Open your mind a little. I have an example.
My friend who is 24 never knew his dad because he left him when he was a child, and his mom commited suicide. Now surely according to you, he should kill himself, because, well, lets face it, he smokes weed. Thats the answer everyone, let all severely depressed stoners kill themselves, then and then only will i be happy.
And i think they should sell it in stores, such as cigarettes, and alcohol. I feel most peple do it to rebel, now im not saying legalizing it will make everyone stop, but it will free up our courts of stupid cases of a teen with a joint on him.
Weed doesnt make you stupider,It impares you for the short term, but only while your high. Much as alcohol, that doesnt necesarily make you stupider, except when your drunk.
Ex. My dad has been smoking weed for a number of years now ( since the 60's) and he went to University for years to study to be a computer systems technician or analyst. He used to be the manager of all the power in the vancouver area for B.C. Hydro. But now his part was bought out by Accenture business services, and now he is a Systems manager of Half of B.C.'s power ( along with a few other guys)
Now surely, if it made you stupider, he would always be veging out on the couch, but no, he holds a good job with good pay.
Anyways, sadly think the Conservatives will win the election, which will suck, because they will probably do to Canada what Campbell did to B.C. Which is cut jobs and make stupid laws and things like that.
In Canada now, if you have 3 grams of weed ( i think) you just get a fine, im prettys sure of, and its small. Opposed to the U.S. where its like tons of years, which is retarted.
