LEGALIZE MARIJUANA AND REAP THE TAX BENEFITS

When will our provincial and federal governments get their acts 
together and legalize all drugs, including marijuana?

These drugs should be distributed to the public under government 
control, and all taxes should apply.

At the same time a system of rehabilitation for users should be set 
up in at the point of distribution, in order to wean people from the problem.

Any persons found guilty of selling hard drugs should get an 
automatic sentence of life imprisonment, with no parole for 25 years. 
In Singapore you would get the death penalty.

Anybody should be allowed to grow marijuana for their own use, but 
selling to others would call for some jail time.
