The time has come for Canadians to stop asking the government to legalize and regulate cannabis, and start demanding that they do it immediately. If prohibition were going to work, it would have worked by now. On behalf of medical and recreational marijuana users nation wide, I would like to declare victory in the War On Drugs. Police and government declared this war on plants decades ago, and they have suffered an embarrassing defeat. We are ready to listen to the terms of their surrender.
