POT: TO LEGALIZE OR NOT

So what? Look at what alcohol does on the "stupidity" graph. And 
there are very few deaths due to pot-smoking drivers, pot smoking 
overdose, pot smoking cancers and so on. Last report on annual 
alcohol revenue in Canada I could find was over $6 billion (in 2006) 
and a huge chunk of that is taxes.

Marijuana is a relatively benign substance that could bring much 
needed revenue to our country and would kill the import business. Do 
you see illegal alcohol imported into Canada? The time is right.
