MANY QUESTIONS NEED ANSWERS

Aside from Canada becoming, depending on your viewpoint, a haven or a Mecca
for users from countries that do not share their opinions, the senators'
proposals to legalize marijuana and regulate its usage in the same manner
as alcohol, though with a lowered age of legal access, raises as yet
unanswered questions.

Will those cannabis products such as hashish and hash oil containing higher
concentrations of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) be legalized as well?

Will driving after use be subject to legal sanction? If so, is there a test
that can be performed on the spot by law enforcement officers?

What specific methodology will be employed in distinguishing between those
16 years old and younger?

What is the level of taxation that will be attached to the sale of cannabis
products?

Answers to these questions are necessary before the public can make an
informed decision on the practical effects of implementing the report of
the Senate committee on illegal drugs.
