Canada has practically become the pot capitol of the world, next to perhaps Amsterdam. With any luck we'll get Stephen 'I'm a smurfing retard with big red gay lips' Harper out of government and we'll get the ball rolling. They took us a few steps back, damn conservatives. Projected estimates from taxes, tourism, business/jobs; savings from law enforcement, jail costs and legal fees should show canada being at mininum 91 billion dollars income in a year. Our natural resources are the best in the world, why not cultivate the best one?

I love my weed and I love how lax Canada is compared to the states. I can sit on my front porch in broad daylight smoking a bong without guilt or worry. Research showed nearly 80% of Canadians smoke weed at least once a month, nearly 60% smokes it at least once a week and 30% smokes it daily. This of course excludes those under 18 and really, really old people.

Way I see it, liquor ruins lives, families, kills brain cells, Drunk driving accidents and livers. It is legal. Cigarettes only kill and there isn't even a euphoria to accompany it. They also, are legal. Marijuana makes me feel better when sick or have a headache. Calms me down when stressed or angry, makes things funnier (Patch Adams says laughter is best medicine, this coming from a PhD) and is a social drug so smoking pot can create friends/relationships.
