Crono, my dad smokes like, alot of weed every day, ask Dylflon.

And I dont know about Canada, i dont think it sucks tons of money out of our system, if anything it puts some in. Becaus i know for some of the grow-ops they uncover, they sell the weed for huge profit to hospitals.

I dont think weed should be treated any differently than Alcohol or cigarettes, like i previously said, because they all affect you in the same basic way, except one is shunned only because....well....you know what, i have no idea why cigarettes are legal and weed isnt to tell you the truth.

And i find it strange that a thread about Canadian government turned into a heated debate over weed.

EDIT: OK, im starting to lose patience with stoners, my dad just ate all my cookies.

Well, regardless, my opinion of people who actually smoke weed and the drug itself will never change. I despise people who abuse any kind of drugs.

But you're right, if legalized, we can tax the hell out of it. I mean, if people want it that bad, then they can pay the government for it. And if they complain, they can suck on it. Everytime the price of cigarettes goes up in Canada I just sit back and laugh. If weed is legalized, I hope they do the same (by consistently raising it's price).

Crono, if you've ever drank alcohol to the point of being drunk, you have abused drugs. Alcohol is a drug.

Don't be so quick to give out judgement on others. Everything is relative.

I agree 100% with you. I dont smoke, drink, or put anything else into my body that could harm it. I may drink some day, but it will only be casually and not very often at all. Almost always for a celebration of some sort. Because I stick to what I have always said before: Drunk people are stupid. I dont want to degrade myself to act in a way I will regret later. Drunk people embarras themselves, and I'm too proud to do that. If it was for a celebration, and I was with friends who I knew very well and trusted, I wouldnt mind so much.

Here recently where I live, cigarett prices have been getting kind of high, and I have heard that in other regions of the USA, they are even more costly. I love hearing that. If people are going to kill themselves, I want them to give as much money to our government to help me out before they die of lung cancer or whatever.

I think it's a good idea to legalize pot (because people are going to find a way to get it anyway), but once it's legal, they should charge a lot for it, and tax the heck out of it.

But I'm not canadian, so my opinion doesnt really matter in this thread, but speaking in a general sort of way: I think it's a good idea if they charge a lot for it, and tax it a lot.

Speaking of drinking and alcohol: It's not legal to sell it in the county I live in. We are considered a "dry" county. I find this incredibly stupid. All the drunks and people in my county that want to drink are going to get alcohol. They'll just go to another county and spend their money there to get it. I dont understand why they dont just make us a wet county, that way at least the money stays here.
