This country is beginning to learn the qualities of not
punishing people to death over Marijuana laws. It is about time. And here is an
article that demonstrates that change. -SJ Otto
From Forbes/Yahoo
News:
When the Canadian
Parliament considered decriminalizing marijuana possession in 2003, U.S.
officials loudly objected. They
complained that the proposed reform would betray the anti-drug cause, worried
that it would encourage drug tourism and facilitate marijuana smuggling, and
threatened to respond with a border crackdown that would impede trade and
travel between the two countries.
Canadian
legislators got the message. The marijuana bill, which would have made
possessing up to 15 grams (about half an ounce) of marijuana a civil offense
punishable by a fine and reduced the penalties for home cultivation of up to
seven plants, never got a vote.
