You do realize that people also smoke pot when it’s illegal, do you not?

Those people who want to smoke pot are going to do so regardless of the law, and the only real question is do people who choose to do this deserve long prison sentences as a result of that choice?

I don’t think they do.

Have to admit, and being in Canada might make a huge difference, but at this point in my life (just turned 64), I don’t really care.
Been doing marijuana since 1970 and nobody cares.
And I’d kind of miss my “scofflaw” status.

Cheers,
Jim

If it is illegal, then those breaking the law should be punished . If not, why have the law in the first place?

Yes they do.
