Medical marijuana has been legal in Canada since 2001 to people who suffer from AIDS, epilepsy, cancer and other terminal illnesses. In 2014 doctors were given the ability to prescribe marijuana to any patient who they deemed required it.

Least harmful drug, pushes people to do that instead of "illegal" drugs. Legalized marijuana has proven to help in multiple ways.

I understand it , it has its advantages and disadvantages and we will see how it goes along the line and make the necessary changes.

I believe we should treat Marijuana as a medicine as supposed to a recreational drug, and start selling it as pills for medical use.
@9M8ZG9Q6 days6D
I feel it isn't a bad thing but any over uses or illegal or excessive dealing should be punished accordingly.
@9LD8F4Q1mo1MO
No, decriminalize it instead. Legalization is the government putting its hand into something that’s none of its business.
@9L63WVW2mos2MO
I neither support nor disagree with the legalization of marijuana, people are entitled to do whatever they want.
