Grass Wars - Canada

April 2006
Canada's relaxed attitude towards dope is straining its relationship with the US. It's coming under heavy pressure to crack down on the cannabis culture.

The statistics are phenomenal - the marijuana industry in British Columbia is worth more than 7 billion and it is Canada's 3rd biggest export. For them, Marc Emery, the self-styled "Prince of Pot" who has created a media industry and seed business out of the drug, is a hero. America threatens Emery with extradition. If convicted he could face up to 35 years in jail. Canadians accuse the Americans of "operating like a bully". However, US authorities are determined to shut down what a senior Drug Enforcement Agency official has dubbed "massive criminal enterprise".

THE WAR ON MARIJANA IS ONLY FORCED BECAUSE IT CREATES JOBS FOR THE SYSTEM , LAWYERS , DOCTORS , POLICE , JUDGES , PERSECUTING ATTORNEYS , COURT STAFF , AND ALL THE REST .AND THEY ADMIT IT. MEANWHILE , THEY MAKE CRIMINALS OUT OF GOOD CITIZENS . I'M WONDERING HOW THEY SLEEP KNOWING THAT ? I'VE EXPERIMENTED WITH ALL ENHANCERS , NOW I DO NOT CONDONE DRUG USE , BUT MARIJUANA I CLASSIFY SAFER THAN ALCOHOL , CIGARETTES OR ANY OTHER DRUG. IT'S BENEFITS ARE GREATER .

the war on drugs could be ended with a few strokes of the pen. tax it. profit from it. stop spending money on fighting it, and make money by selling it. puts criminals out of business, and makes honest citizens out of the end user.

I was smoking ‘‘one‘‘ with a couple of friends in a crowded park in a old Montreal park and the cops who passed trough our smoke just told us ‘‘Good evening dudes.‘‘ I love my city.
