legalize has so many meanings. Just beause it is supposedly “legal” in canada now does not mean you can go into a store, buy a joint, light it up and walk out onto the street with it. If we were to legalize to full extent of selling it over the counter at corner stores, gas stations and cigar shops, it would open several new doors for the american economy and the world economy. Police could spend more time on worthwhile calls instead of breakling up house parties, and the prisons would be less crowded. On the downside, if you get one wrong leader in office our coutry could turn into amsterdam and nothing would ever get done. Plus there would be a lot of isseues like, should people still have to take a drug test for employment reasons. What would the laws be while driving under the effects of it. Things of this nature. So in other words it could complicate things but i think the goods highly outweigh the bads. O ya and i still wouldnt smoke it.
