Not only have they tabled legislation to decriminalize pot, the cops around the country have themselves decided to quit arresting people for possession. Here in Winnipeg I see men walking down the street puffing away on a joint as calm as you please.

Flanagan added that she also believes the proposed legislation could be beneficial, adding, "They're still criminalizing the source of the problem: the people who are smuggling and distributing."

Another example of the decline of the educational system. How are smugglers and distributors "the source of the problem"---are they creating demand for marijuana?

The fact is, some people like to muddle their minds, and as Prohibition showed, there's not a damned thing government can do about it---although it can create new problems by trying.

I hope this leads to much stricker and slower border crossing between America and Canada. I hope this leads to tedious and thorough checks of everything and everybody coming into this country from Cannuckistan.
