CDZ Canada to legalise recreational pot:pros and cons

[Aries]

On one hand, the war on drugs has been an abysmal failure, and an expensive one, at that. Enforcement of this so called war has fallen mostly on minority shoulders, even though non minorities are statistically more likely to be cannabis users.

It's just a fact hood rats are more violent and kill people over money, or tennis shoes, or just for fun, so you'll just have to accept reality as it is.

On the other hand, is it correct to just surrender to the issue of drug abuse, merely because it seems to be unenforceable with the tools we currently have at hand?

The 'libertoons' are always telling us stuff like 'legalizing it will reduce crime n stuff', but it's doubtful, and for some reason they think it's not the same as just legalizing rape, robbery, murder, and the like, even though legalizing all that would certainly reduce crime if it were legalized, too.

If the black market diminished, why wouldn't crime go down?
Are criminals out there killing people over black market liquor?
If weed was legal and not taxed to high heaven, what incentive would the cartels have to ship stuff over here?

it also stops the criminalization of thousands of citizens who are otherwise harmless and law abiding. (disproportionately minorities of course)

It always pisses me off how a guy with an ounce of weed gets more prison time than the bankers that purposefully crashed our economy and screwed over thousands and thousands of people..

I knew of a white collar criminal who embezzled $4.5 million and lost it all at the casinos in Vegas.

When caught he was sentenced to 5 years and served 1 1/2 years of it.

thats bullshit

Justin Trudeau launching plan to legalise marijuana in Canada

legislation is being presented in Canada to legalise the recreational use of marijuana. It's a controversial topic, as there are many moving parts to this issue.

On one hand, the war on drugs has been an abysmal failure, and an expensive one, at that. Enforcement of this so called war has fallen mostly on minority shoulders, even though non minorities are statistically more likely to be cannabis users.

On the other hand, is it correct to just surrender to the issue of drug abuse, merely because it seems to be unenforceable with the tools we currently have at hand?

This is a major step to take, and the consequences may be far-ranging. Any ideas from states that have already started this process, and can offer some advice?

.
This will probably cut into the Canadian beer drinking market.

Bigtime! Or maybe we will get some new cannabis craft beer, lol!

Pot got on the list due to bad science, propaganda, and racism. With modern science, it is laughable that marijuana is still illegal. We have clearly proven it is not as harmful as once portrayed, has amazing medical benefits, and its tax revenues could literally turn this country around.

racism?

yes all them mexicans and their mind altering mary jane!

Brown coke is one of the main imports from Mexico as well as pot.

brown coke?

coke mixed with smokeless gun powder

holy shit

talking about violence in "hood rats" is pointless without addressing the societal challenges the "hood" is up against.

Yes..."societal challenges". lol!!

Really...is it not easy being poor? Wow...I wouldn't know anything about being poor and all. I am White, so of course I was born into riches and PRIVILEGE.
Please...tell us about this....poor?

i assumed nothing of your race or riches, simply noting your ignorance.
In today society, it is very hard to climb out of poverty. The excessive costs of living and education make it extremely hard to break out of cycles of generational poverty.

Bullshit..that is an excuse. It is hard to climb out of poverty if you do not prepare and take the steps needed to do so. Poverty as with most positions are quite often the fault of those who exist in it...children excluded of course.

The excessive costs of living and education make it extremely hard to break out of cycles of generational poverty.

Negative...those are more excuses for laziness and ultimately failure. Please understand when I make THIS assumption but; You MUST be a minority. Probably a Basketball American.

No. This America is not like the America our grandparents had. Work hard, and you will be fine. There are people working 40-50 hours a week still being paid poverty wages. The rapid inflation of living costs is nowhere near equal to the gradual rise in wages.

The economics of disposable cash ensures that some other industry will indeed suffer from pot legalization.

But the point is by de-criminalizing it the prison and jail populations will decrease too.
