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.
