Bless this woman, but she will be pillored by the liberal elites for not having the intellectual capacity to realize that if pot were legal, her son never would have been in a position to be killed. It's the government's fault for making a harmless weed an illegal substance. Nor, thesy will argue, does she understand that locking up criminals does nothing to rehabilitate them. Canada shouldn't be like the human rights violater, the U.S. by incarcerating a greater proportion of it's citizens than any other nation. This will likely be the case that not only decriminalizes pot, but may even make it into a legal substance. Her son will be used as a martyr for the drug legalization crowd. how sad.

I am Canadian and I left becasue Canada is becoming the compost pile of the modern world. It's where all the B*llSh*t ideas from around the world get dumped to rot.

"This will likely be the case that not only decriminalizes pot, but may even make it into a legal substance. Her son will be used as a martyr for the drug legalization crowd. how sad."

Yep, while I favour legalization, I don't think using this as an argument for it is right. To start with, as I've said, this was not a major organized-crime run grow-op. And the pot plants were not the main reason for this raid.

In any case, even if we legalized pot in this country, we would still need to up penalties for illegal grow ops in this country to be at least as harsh as those in the US, so as to discourage those who would grow it here to smuggle into the US, or the problem will not go away.
