WEED IS THE ANSWER

B.C. has the power to decriminalize marijuana.

Marijuana is one of the most useful plants on Earth.

It dulls pain, plus 2,000 other uses, without the side-effects of
prescription drugs, which are the No. 1 killer of our society today,
above cancer and heart disease.

The legalization of marijuana would allow B.C. to collect taxes that
would cover our total healthcare system as well as decrease the
criminal element in our province.

I believe the Liberals or NDP would win the election by including the
legalization of marijuana as a major part of their platform but I find
the politicians clever people lacking intelligence.

What is wrong with this picture?
