Well, it’s finally happening: Canada’s new Liberal government is moving to legalize marijuana. Part of their election platform, Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government is starting the ball rolling on the legalization of marijuana. Finally we can stop worrying about being persecuted for something that doesn’t harm anyone. Sure, for several years, if you had under thirty grams, you would only get a fine, like a parking ticket, but even that is/was unnecessary. Another great benefit will be the taxes that the government will be be able to take in: one you tax pot, you open a huge, previously untapped revenue stream that can be put towards education, health and infrastructure. At a time when the Canadian economy is on shaky grounds, this can be a huge overall economic benefit. On top of all that, it’s going to be really nice to be able to go into a store and buy my pot, instead of having to setup a clandestine meeting at an inconvenient time. Yes sir, I’m going to be happy when this is all said and done!
