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.
@9ZNZZY82wks2W
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.
@9VW59ZN2mos2MO
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
@9VKP3M72mos2MO
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.
@9T9L5MR3mos3MO
I dont really care if it is legal or not as its good for medical use and also helps people cope and calm down.
@9T59TXS3mos3MO
Yes but the government should have a mandatory rehab for people who are starting to get addicted to it.
@9Q6NY5X5mos5MO
Yes, but only for medical purposes. Otherwise increase the penalties for non-violent drug offenders.
@9MRCRCD6mos6MO
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.
