Ganja-Mart

So hey, legalize the hootch? Sure, why not? Let's take a look at the possible consequences of legally availabe marijuana.

Firstly the stuff would be taxed as heavily as alcohol, which probably isn't a good thing for many users, but I'm sure they can get by. That tax money would definitely help with the development Canada, specifically the rediculous condition of highways in my part of the country.

Another good thing is that the creation of a consumer market would ultimately result in the creation of a producer market. All those herbal greenthumbs would have to worry bout stealing electricity because their grow-op would be legitimately profitable.

Now the Canadian government does grow medicinal marijuana, but those that use it say it sucks and go elsewhere for their cure. people allowed to use marijuana have to obtain it in an illegal manner because the country can't provide a quality product. Remember what hearing about what happened during prohibition in the states?

Regardless, Marijuana is cheap compared to other drugs, it's "safe", and readily accesible to anyone willing to look. Nomatter how the government looks at it, people will smoke pot, so why not cash in?
