PRODUCTION AND TRAFFICKING WILL REMAIN A CRIMINAL OFFENCE

THE INTENDED decriminalization of marijuana is further proof the Liberal
government has the foresight of the average 2-year-old. Minor possession
will be off the books, while production and trafficking (which, by
definition, includes to give, transport or send, not just sell) will remain
a criminal offence. The intended legislation fails to address this. By
extension, the government is, in fact, counselling the production and
trafficking of marijuana. Users have to get it somehow. And sales of
government weed, like booze, using the taxes to finance health care and
social programs will never happen. It's tough to make a 12-year-old scotch,
but anyone can grow pot for almost nothing. The government won't see a dime.

(If they could figure out how to tax it, pot probably would be legal now)
