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.

I believe we should treat Marijuana as a medicine as supposed to a recreational drug, and start selling it as pills for medical use.
@9M8ZG9Q9mos9MO
I feel it isn't a bad thing but any over uses or illegal or excessive dealing should be punished accordingly.
@9LMNP5M9mos9MO
I would legalize it only for medical purposes since doctors sometimes give these out to people who have
@9LJGNWT 10mos10MO
Yes, I hate the stuff as recreational but I think that edibles and oils are extremely beneficial from a medicinal perspective. Make growers scrub their exhaust air. I hate the smell.
@9LD8F4Q10mos10MO
No, decriminalize it instead. Legalization is the government putting its hand into something that’s none of its business.
@9KQ6YYX11mos11MO
Yes, with independently runned vs government owned. It’s membertou that wins in the end due to this.
@9KB34G7 11mos11MO
I don’t think marijuana should be illegal but I don’t support the legalization either I think it should be decriminalized, so the government has nothing to do with it
