Everyone knows the devastating effects of marijuana.
Its simply that people are simply licentious and do not care.

So, in Canada you can use drugs, eventually end up with some sort of CPD or mental illness and taxpayers pay for your medical bills:

It’s a conspiracy, man!

BTW, honestly I wouldn’t care too much about public usage, though if porn can be “zoned”, I don’t know why drug outlets like this can’t be “zoned”, also. My biggest concern is smoking it can waft into my area, and I can get “altered” by it, unlike using any drugs any other way.

That’s an incredible list. It’s quite frightening how first big pharm/ the medical cabal hooked people on pain killers, now says marijuana is a really good alternative to alleviate pain. How many generations before the result is a completely imbecilic, DNA altered, stunted herded population?

A very informative post. Up Canada way I can attest to the effects of pot on people. I was security at a large mall. A movie was shown at the cinema there called "The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Turn away crowds. It proved so popular that the management allowed a second showing at midnight.

I could smell that stuff easily, when that crowd showed up. Now to be fair they were not violent or combative like alcohol fueled patrons. Yet their manner was definitely different to the average patron. It was sort of insouciant and "in your face" attitude. A change was evident in them. I shudder to think of them driving like that. Many Canadians express concern re driving habits of these people. Then there is the aircraft passenger industry. Airlines say the personnel have to be 28 days clear of pot before flying...... what a crock!

Sure, it’s bad for you. Sugar is bad for you, a Big Mac is bad for you. But freedom means people get to do bad things to themselves if they want to.
