Lol, this is awesome, I KNOW the guy who was in that video, the clerk at the bcmp bookstore. I can see it from my office, I'll have to run down there after and tell him he got dugg.That guy sold me my Volcano :)
The way I see it, I think it should be legalized even though as a Candaian I'm at a low risk for actually facing punishment, even though I don't smoke any more. First of all, prices WILL go down Places where it's illegal face high prices due to the costs incurred to the growers/sellers (whole fields being siezed, etc). There would be significant taxation on that (I imagine the sin tax would apply). But instead of the extra money going to the illegal grow ops who charge too much, a good portion could be put towards social programs. Since few people get sick off weed, the money could be put towards medical research, for example. But hey, I know the Ron Paulites will disagree.
The only reason Canada doesn't make it legal is because the American government would be outraged and it would be even harder to cross the boarder both ways. And Our government is too pussy to do anything against the American government. f**k YOU HARPER Conservative!
If an American ads what he pays in private health insurance to his tax bill, The USofAmerican is the most taxed in the Western World.So, drop all the "oh, teh ZXYians are SOOOO taxed".
Reason #2) Illegal Pot means cops can harass the underclass, they like this.Reason #3) Illegal Pot means that the Black Market provides for what would otherwise be countless scores of unemployed and hungry people (ie: drug dealers at least make some money to support themselves, take that away -- what do they do?)Reason #4) Illegal Pot means less competition for Alcohol Industry.Reason #5) Prison Industrial ComplexReason #6) 75% of Court time is for Marijuna cases

That would be another good thing as well. No more pimps, monitored and controlled STDs... Women MORE protected instead of less.
