It is not a deciding factor at all, but if one party says we want to put money into healthcare and scientific research studies etc, and the other party’s say otherwise, I’m pretty sure our societies advancements can be, and should be considered a deciding factor for sure.
Recreational users of MJ are everywhere. Weeds just one a grammy, I beleive over a show called desperate house wives. – I guess your right about the entertaining coment Gravitron.
The fact is that many people have used natural substances such as marijuana and even Ibogaine, for illnesses such as cancer and aids, and even addictions and dependancies for other harder drugs.
The other fact is that prohibition has obviously gone too far. When I was in grade school in Fernie years ago, there was little mention of pot or weed being available on the school grounds. Yet today I hear kids as young as twelve are hooked on Crack or Meth. This is a reality and we are fortunate enough to live in a small enough community, where these kids and their issues can be healthily addresses through programs and councelling. Most people hear stories about young people on crack and the first thing they think is “What did the parents do or what do they think?” – Here lies the problem. Parents don’t think – “Go to school honey.” – “Did you take back that game to the video store?”
Parents don’t think or communicate like when I was young. They don’t act either. Ie when I was young and did something wrong I was made understand that what I did was not appropriate. My parents may have used physical language in dicipline when I was little, but I never recieved a “time out”. Somedays I wanted a time out from the likens eh.
I think parents today are afraid to punish their children, face it, kids know more than we do. You send your teenage son to his room without dinner and you got a certain department knocking at your door giving you shit.
The above text is merely my opinion of course, and I strongly encourage debate on this issue.
The fact is that 3 Canadian advocates for marijuana reform have been charged and possibly await the death penalty in the us. This group paid it’s taxes (Hundreds of thousands over 11 years time) and never once lied about it’s operations. The government excepted the money and prommissed changes in the legislation, yet those same politicians today are more concerned with “Gay mariage” and “Scandals”.
The environment is will be and has always been a platform issue.
Why don’t they hire David Suzuki to tell us what we can do? Why? – Greed and american influence.
The Liberals promissed us better healthcare. They should have mentioned that people would continue to die in waiting rooms while awaiting medical attention. They also should have mentioned that smaller areas would be drastically effected by medical care cut backs.
And Don’t get me started on Stephen Harper. IMO he only involves himself with politics cause the muppet show rejected his auditions. LOL
The government keeps throwing around the figure for possesion as well. What a Joke. They can’t decide between 20-26gr. What a stupid decision.
If you want to get pot off the streets, why not make it a definite noticeable figure such as three pounds. If you see someone walking around with three pounds I’m pretty sure they mean to traffic, if not, they’ve got some party I’m not invited too to get to.
Even four times the figure of 26gr. is enough for any politician to hide in his pockets unlike the rest of our poorly invested Tax dollars.
Thanks for the oportunity to vent. Im good at it. I think
Criminalize sugar as the gateway substance. enuff said. No?
