LEGISLATION TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA POSSESSION

There are a number of points that seem to have been lost in the debate on
Canada's proposed pot law.

Those who say the proposed law is too soft fail to mention that the
hardline approach in America is an incredibly expensive failure by every
measure -- unless it is viewed as a war on personal freedom, in which case
it is an overwhelming success. Advocates of this approach don't even
pretend that it works. Everyone who wants to smoke marijuana already does .

If you want to smoke pot, that is YOUR choice -- no one else's.
