hey jodie, should we be scared?

[JodieEmery]

I am personally concerned. The Conservative party, the ruling minority government, wants to win an election this winter if it gets called. They will make Canada very much like America in the war on drugs.

I praise both marc and jodie they are heros to the cause

sad news... funny how conservatives say they wanna "protect" our children. I didn't know protecting people consisted of putting them in jail. Hmm...

@lzflzflzf putting kids in jail? i thought it was adults

@chronic604 ain'ts they

it will never be legalized in the USA unless some real actual "change" takes place in this country. Im a libertarian and im sick of this persecution of all types of people. People are just so misguided on this issue as with most issues. N way as our George Washington said, "Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere!

I admit that I have absolutely no bone to pick with Libertarians.Afterall,they are dead on that government has no place in our personal lives.

[TrenchtownBongs]

Libertarian is fiscally conservative and i'm glad you know the difference :)

[qbc176]

I'm aware about Dr.Paul who in reality is a Libertarian.There are 2 types of conservative--the fiscal con and the social con.I'm not a conservative of any stripe but a fiscal conservative is not completely insane and is not bent on restricting civil liberties or rights.A social con has more in common with fascism than any free and/or democratic society.Hence,I hate the Reform Party.

[TrenchtownBongs]

Well, a true conservative believes that it is a persons right to choose what they put into their body, and doesn't believe the government has the power to take away that right. Just google Ron Paul on Marijuana and you'll see true conservatism

[qbc176]

I couldn't agree with you more about Obama.The Democrats are Republican-Lite.

But I don't see how 'real' conservatives want marijuana legal when the Reform Party wants a zero tolerance,reefer madness policy in this country which,by the way,WAS pot friendly up until Harper's conservatives came into power.

[TrenchtownBongs]

REAL conservatives want marijuana. Look at Washington, Jefferson, Adams etc. The truest conservatives were pro hemp. The US government that did this to marc were NOT conservatives. And Obama is a liberal and he hasn't done anything to change this. Free Marc and the weed.

[dutchmafia999]

The funny thing is that conservative MP Rahim Jaffer just got arrested for DUI and cocaine possession. I wonder if he still wants more jails and longer sentences,,,, hahaha LMAO
