Update:
Yesterday an Ontario judge threw out a possession charge against a 16-year-old, which many are now saying ALREADY sets a precedent for decriminalized pot.

"It certainly says that we are a relatively liberal society on this issue," said Toronto pollster Michael Sullivan. Yup. The more liberal you are the more you want to legalize drugs. It's a liberal issue.

The survey of 1,400 adult Canadians showed 50 per cent either strongly or somewhat support decriminalization. 700 of 'em were stoned when they replied.

Nope---unless he meant "liberal" in the classical sense. When William Buckley supports looser pot laws it can't be rubberstamped as a "liberal" (modern sense) issue.

One of the areas where liberals and Libertarians agree.

So you think that 50% of a random sampling of Canadians is stoned?

Hell, I'll buy the concept if the legalization crowd can guarantee that the general populace will never have to foot any costs associated with idiots who let drugs ruin their lives and every state legalizes and encourages weapons ownership so said populace doesn't need to wait for local LEO's to save them from interactions with said idiots...

I'm all in favor of letting Canada be the guinea pig.Several US states have already decriminalized---some of them for years. I'm unaware of any evidence that those experiments failed.

Using one violation of rights (taxpayer-funded rehab) as an excuse for another violation of rights (banning drug use) is not a conservative argument.

the amount who approve is WAY higher...its' just that they forgot...
bye bye statists...looks like the game is over. the US may as well legalize it. In 2 years we will have such mind blowing hydro from vancouver, the statists don't want to miss out on their tax revenue.

Do you HONESTLY think the federal government will legalize marijuana while they are outlawing tobacco?
To: MrLeRoy
So you think that 50% of a random sampling of Canadians is stoned? Nahhhhhh it's gotta be higher than 50%. Otherwise they wouldn't have French as an official language.

"50 per cent either strongly or somewhat support decriminalization"This could be:
Strongly Support: 2%
Somewhat Support: 48%
Big difference. Any more info on the survey? Like a further breakdown of results or exact wording of the questions?
To: Axenolith
said populace doesn't need to wait for local LEO's to save them from interactions with said idiotsAddicts commit crimes to get the money for their expensive-becasue-illegal drugs. If drugs were legal, you'd have no more to fear from addicts than you do now from alkies.

Actually, we had the same thing with Cuban cigars. You'll note the federal government didn't cave.
To: MrLeRoy
Further proof that Liberalism has polluted the minds of 50% of the population!
