"adding that police are now able to re-focus on tracking much higher level dealers and larger quantities of drugs."

i can get behind that

what bugs me about this are the stats

when it brings up age it mentions only kids under 18

just seems...very skewed.

yeah, I noticed that, too

Yes, it's a good thing

legalization and decriminalization are very different

interseresting read. I'm glad it wasn't as biased as it could have been

but anyway yeah. legalized means it's ok to buy and sell freely in any quantity. decriminalization is for personal amounts (whch is totally

subjective) for personal use only, and only for posession. traffiking is still illegal because the drug has not been legalized.

a few years ago there was a push for decriminalization up here...then the conservatives got elected and now Stephen Harper wants to give 25

years in fed for posession of a single marijuana plant

aye - important distinction though the end result is pretty much the same for the end users

and...harper is a tool - even i can see that.

i had a senator come to my high school law class and speak in favour of decriminalisation once

it was great because i totally gave him no notice at all and i was so shocked that he actually came

woah, awesome
