Are you really that hard up for a good time that you need another legalized substance to have fun?

It isn't about going out and getting high so much
I don't even smoke weed and i support it.
legalize and tax the FUCK out of it, like what is done with cigarettes.
the point is, the costs to imprison people from marijuana possession crimes, is crippling our jail system. The police could be pursueing much worse crimes, my step dad is a cop, he hates the fact that so much of police revenue is forced into pursing marijuana crimes (no he doesn't smoke nor has he ever) ESP when police are being laid off left and right because of how much they are struggling right now.
our government cannot find ways to increase income.
people still smoke weed, rates have not dropped since the war on drugs started.
It does have some medicinal value, and i mean shit, i am on legal heroin right now (oxycodone, yes it is prescribed to me.) that shit is FAR worse and addictive than weed.
Cigarettes are legal which are fucking horrible.
i <3 booze but i understand it's effects are some of the worst.
and alcohol addiction is actually stronger than almost all drugs.
We are not hard up for a good time so we want it legal. there are people who are just Stoners and want their habit to not be illegal yes, however there are people like me, who look at this and just think why is this illegal, it makes NO sense. especially when the LEGAL substitutes that come out (spice etc) are sooooooooo much fucking worse for you than the actual product.
what is it with 95% of Canadians being fucking condescending as shit.
If you really were curious about why, ask, but don't be such a fucking douche about it.
