Ah sh1t, other people replied, now I have to. The US has been deluged w/ requests to legalize marijuana by Arizona, California, Nevada and Montana for many reasons under the hopes of medicinal uses. It won't work. . .the route the people are taking in legislation has been struck down too many times. Marijuana has been classified as a schedule I drug, yup, right up there with heroin, and will remain there until people accept a different spin on things. Alaska aside, people are placed in prison for six years or more for possesing an ounce of spliff. Harmless, otherwise law abiding citizens, are taken away from their families b/c they were stopped w/ some weed and placed in max. sec. prisons b/c of holding some grass. A violent rapist can get out on good behavior in four years, but my friend has to spend six years in lock up for inhaling an herb, heh. Anywho. . .my point. . .I don't think Canada will come any closer to legalising mj than the US has. . .they're going on the same points (ie it's not that harmful, it can help people, it could increase tax income). Maybe if some politician would bring on a new slant, hmmmm, like say, hemp is a more readily and cheaply produced source of fabric, things would change. Grow it in fields, process it and make me some jeans, show how it can produce a function (and to the US, make some money) and it might be considered. Once it's in society it may be acceptable, again, as a recreational release, but until it is seen as benificial beyond the uses of stoners in common use it won't ever be legalized.
