The reason why B.C. has become the North American's supplier of marijuana is the weak penalties on growing/ dealing. Reagan's war on drugs pushed growers into B.C. along with the organized crime that goes with it.
Drug testing should be manditory for all employment. That would make work places safer while drying up the 95% of the money in the drug trade. It would then be managable for law enforcement to deal with the rest.
