'LEGALIZE IT, DON'T CRITICIZE IT' - 3 OF SEVERAL

Some say Canada should be Oh Cannabis for medical and relaxation reasons.

Legislation to decriminalize marijuana makes sense, especially if it helps
ease the lot of taxpayers who are saddled with the cost of court drug cases
and burdened by the lack of deterrents in sentencing.

However, it's bound to open up a can of worms. How do you prove someone is
just growing it for themselves, etc.?

The most important thing is to make pot smokers pay from their own pockets
the medical costs associated with their smoking habits. Our medical plan
should not be on the hook for them.
