  • what about the innocent people who just want to smoke a joint? why they have to suffer for your bullshit laws? Isn't this harm reduction to save my ass from buying from a drug dealer. damn it with this non stop bullshit. Legalize it already.

  • been smoking weed for years off and on but now i smoke daily since a few years back and i haven't changed much...ive maybe gained 10 points in my IQ and overall i'm happy.. through hard times weed has helped me through. i honestly dont no what i would of done to not kill my own self. i also smoke it for extreme pain in my back knees feet neck hands as well.. it is healthier to smoke weed instead of taking a persciption from the doctor so i studied about.

  • Canadians are fighting back!!!

  • People will never stop smoking marijuana any more than they will stop drinking alcohol. Prohibition is Prohibition ! No matter if its drugs or alcohol the end results are the same. Crime and Violence comes into play. Make sure NOT TO VOTE HARPER BACK IN.

  • its like 1 2 3 got my shit.. i mean like it is easier to get med grade from my friend than it is a doctor.. saying the weed laws are flawed they need to regulate it and put up more 40 plants or so you can grow your own... it's like 200 in law for lisenced paitents well some you know :)

  • 70% of bc grown cannabis is not heading down to the states. if it is leaving the province its making its way east first then south if theres any left/

  • How about the gang violence would stop because they would be too high to care.

  • @SharkTheArdvark i agree; keepint pot illegal is a cloak-it covers up the real motive/plan of the ones who run this country.

  • death to the dehumanizers
