I've said it before and
I'll shout it out again, "I LOVE MY CANADIAN NEIGHBORS"! They have the balls to do what some, I should say half, of the United States would have a *tissy fit* about and that is not make a big deal about marijuana! WTF is wrong with marijuana... NOTHING!!!

Here's the story my rant came from:

"His name is Marc Emery and he is called the "Prince of Pot." He claims to have sold more marijuana seeds than anyone in the world and, to date, no one has disputed that claim. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the culture is rather permissive concerning marijuana. The Canadian government, for the most part, has left Emery and his business alone"...

cd~ thanks for the *heads up* info! As I said in my post, I like him because he stood up for his beliefs & I agree with his stance on marijuana. Sounds like you're in his corner.

As you could tell by the article, I found out about this from the "60 Minutes" broadcast tonight.

*sigh*

As if the government doesn't have bigger fish to fry?

That's a great idea, cd! Maybe you could get the ball rolling in Canada. I'm just so sick of the *bush thugs* going after anything Canadian just because of their LI-BER-AL stances.

...my hubby just peeked in & said to tell you, "YOU GO GUY"!

Canadians have the best healthcare system in the world (snicker).

I really don't know much about the whole marijuana thing. I'm on the fence. On one hand, I've met successful intelligent business people that smoke it once in awhile for fun.

On the other, I was also a high school teacher, and I swear to God my potheads were the most idiotic, stupid, and brainless beings in the world. Even smoking just plain tobacco can literally rot your brain.

I do know that smoking marijuana creates oxidation in your body, which releases tons of free radicals.

Free radicals cause aging and disease in humans...a good analogy would be leaving metal outside in the rain. Oxidation leads to rust.

Like I said, I'm pretty much undecided.

phoenix~ Canadian's all do have health care provided, as far as I know. It must be good because all of my husband's forty Canadian relatives are alive & well for over the 40 years I've known them.

I wonder about that myself.
I mean, about all that keeping marijuana illegal has done, has been to create more criminals, prevent us from regulating what is sprayed on it, prevent us from taxing it, tie up the court system and otherwise occupy the police, break up families, help gangs and drug lords make money, cause growers to damage the environment in otherwise pristine National Forest lands, and make a lot of lawyers rich.

What benefit has it been? I mean, you can still buy it in any middle school in America. In fact, it's probably easier for kids to buy than cigarettes or alcohol because drug dealers don't card them.
