WE NEED MORE WEED LIKE HOLE IN HEAD

Everyone agrees that legalizing marijuana will increase its use. Other
places that have done it confirm the trend. Doesn't that mean there
will be more drug users, more drivers under the influence and more
health problems?

So why are we doing it? Has the federal government discovered new
money that it will have to give to the provinces who are stuck
implementing it? Or is this yet another ill-thought election promise
that is hitting the fan?

Especially the young are at risk, and the age limit of 18 is a joke.
Kids can get it now when it's illegal, so how much easier will it be
to get when it's legal?

Weed is an additional health risk that Canadians need like a hole in
the head.
