Do you support the legalization of Marijuana?

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. In 2016 the Liberal party announced they would be proposing legislation in 2017 to legalize the use of recreational marijuana for adults over the age of 18.

I’m fine with marijuana being legal. It’s less destructive than alcohol, but I’m not ok with decriminalizing harder drugs. They’re personally and socially destructive and the gov focus should be rehab, not enabling with safe injection sights and safe supply. Safe supply is destroying our society and not solving anything. The crisis has only gotten worse.

 @9ZNZZY8from Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Yes, but better regulations need to be put in place as not all strains and cannabis products are equal in social impact or side effects.

 @9VW59ZNfrom Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

If people want to use marijuana, they should only be allowed to do so in their home, not in public or anywhere outside. There also needs to be tougher enforcement on driving while under the influence

 @9VKP3M7from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

I don't really care that much about it, I feel it doesn't concern me whether it's legal or not or if people do it.

 @9T9L5MRfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

I dont really care if it is legal or not as its good for medical use and also helps people cope and calm down.

 @9T59TXSfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Yes but the government should have a mandatory rehab for people who are starting to get addicted to it.

 @9Q6NY5Xfrom Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only for medical purposes. Otherwise increase the penalties for non-violent drug offenders.

 @9MRCRCDfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

I don't really care but I think the people that want to smoke will go and find it even if its not legal. If they are buying it illegally they can be put in dangerous situations from drug dealers, their marijuana being laced, or getting robbed.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.

Netanyahu Shifts Focus to Iran After Cease-Fire with Hezbollah

Israel approved a cease-fire with Lebanon that is intended to bring a halt to more than a year of fighting with the Hezbollah militia and could help defuse a broader regional crisis that has threatened to ensnare the U.S. and other world powers.“I have some good news to report from the Middle East,” President Biden said on Tuesday, announcing a cease-fire that he said would begin at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the agreement earlier in the day, saying it would let Israel focus on the threat from Iran, allow the Israeli military to rest and rearm, and isolate Hamas.“The continuation of the cease-fire will be dependent on what happens in Lebanon. We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to every violation,” Netanyahu said.Lebanon’s prime minister, Najib Mikati, welcomed the agreement, saying it would bring “calm and stability in Lebanon and the return of the displaced to their homes and cities.”The Lebanese cabinet is expected to meet on Wednesday to approve steps to enforce the cease-fire, including sending government security forces to areas of southern Lebanon near the border with Israel.Hezbollah has indicated openness to a deal in recent days. “What concerns us are Lebanese national measures and the protection of sovereignty,” Hassan Fadlallah, a member of Parliament affiliated with the group, told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.The announcements came after a day of heavy bombardment of Beirut while Israeli ground forces advanced deeper into Lebanese territory. Minutes after Biden spoke, a series of explosions thundered in Beirut. Northern Israel also came under renewed rocket fire.There was no immediate public comment from Hezbollah on the announced cease-fire.If implemented, the agreement would be a diplomatic success for Biden in the twilight of his administration, after more than a year in which the White House has tried to fend off the possibility of a wider regional war. It could also change the landscape that President-elect Donald Trump will face when he takes office in January.
