Never...

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'm so jealous. But could you get a job with government with a history in pot usage? It's so ridiculous! You have to be free from pot and have smoked no more than 5 times in your life to get a job with the FBI. Yet! You could be an avid alcohol drinker (which is far more dangerous) and not have to worry! Stupid, smurfing politics! Why can't america just accept the fact that marijuana is the least of our worries and that there are far worse drugs! Two of my friends, big-time pot users, don't look at and never have looked at pot as a gateway drug! It's fun and aside from lung damage (no worse than a cigar) it has no bad effects. I did a report on legalizing marijuana for my philosophy final last year. I know alll about the these politicians pull out of their pants to keep marijuana illegal. It's ridiculous and stupid!

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.

Yeah, my neighbors are all potheads. I've had a few drags with my next door neighbors. We look out for eachother. The police had been really clingy. They were out and about like smurfing sharks, just looking for someone to arrest. So I went to my neighbor's porch where they were smoking a bowl and I was like *cough* cops... *cough* and they were like *cough* thanks *cough*. So, it's not all that bad here in america. But the laws really have fooled the public into thinking that there's a whole marijuana gestapo running about. But some of us are smarter than that. On of my pot-loving friends got caught by the cops one day with a few of her buddies sharing a joint. The cops were like, "Take it inside! Next time, we'll have have to arrest you." and they went inside and that was the end of it.

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.

Hmmm... pot can ruin lives... in a different way. But no different than cigarettes, really. Aside from some people become completely apathetic but that has nothing to do with THC (the active drug in marijuana). It's just the person being lazy. SMoking pot all the time and not caring. You get that with alcohol. Except, alcohol is worse.
