The proof that cannabis prohibition has failed is irrefutable, four former B.C. attorneys-general say

    Last year, we made public our support for the taxation and regulation of adult cannabis use, joining a growing number of prominent voices across the country urging changes to marijuana policy. The proof that cannabis prohibition has failed is irrefutable. We see the evidence on our streets, in our communities and on the nightly news ? gang-related homicides and shootings, innocent victims caught in the crossfire, grow-op busts and violent grow-op thefts.

    Under marijuana prohibition, violent criminals are provided a protected market that enables them to target our youth and grow rich while vast resources are directed to ineffective law enforcement tactics. Meanwhile, Canada?s criminal justice system is overextended and in desperate need of repair.
    ...
    The federal government has now enacted mandatory jail terms for growing as few as six marijuana plants. There will be massive provincial budget and expenditure implications from this bill and yet, our streets will be no safer. It is time for a complete rethink.

    If drinking isn't a crime, then weed sure as hell shouldn't be. Just a matter of time before a politician with balls comes along and makes it so. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure society isn't going to collapse when it happens.

    Weed isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

    It'll be so nice to see crime vanish and gang members flocking the local Wendy's for jobs.

    It's a shame this forum has dragged you down to this level. I remember a discussion about Opium Wars where you claimed that drug prohibition had achieved some success, somewhere. It was wrong, but it was interesting.

    This is right up there with Mr. Useless Machine himself.

    And a dealer who doesn't smell like urine and disappointment


    I doubt it's just dealers in the pot industry that smell like that. Lot of the users I've come across aren't much different.
