Maybe it's because I'm from BC, maybe not - but I think weed should be legalized.

Nothing else, just weed.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that here in BC practically everyone and their mother and their mothers father smokes dope. Many kids even smoke it/get it from their parents or have open conversations about it. Many people walk down main roads during the middle of the day and just light up a joint. And these people do not needlessly and senselessly attack one another. Weed here, is seen in a better light than alcohol. Yet it remains illegal. I'm not comparing weed to booze by any means, but I'd definitely compare them to cigarettes.

I say make weed legal, same as cigarettes. Can't buy them until you're 19. Tax the hell out of it. Will there be people still growing their own? Of course. Some people grow tobacco - but if it's legal, the convenience after time will slowly kick in, and people will get used to just walking down to a store to buy a pack of joints. And if they get caught with plants in their back yard for distribution purposes, instead of being seen as a minor criminal (In Canada), the government would then view them as a citizen who is trying to shirk the government of tax dollars. And they tend to crack down on that a lot harder and more efficiently than someone who's growing some seeds.

Everyone expects a quick fix. Things rarely drastically change right away. It takes time.

I tenderly await the day that they legalize pot in Canada, if not only BC. It gets a blind eye turned to in everyday life here so much anyways, that it seems ridiculous that it's still illegal.
