ok, I was thinking about marijuana last night, and the issues of legalization, and I have to wonder if its been that thought through.

Its not like it would be for sale in 7-11, more than likely it would be for sale in liquor stores so that would remove it from the hands of anyone under the age of 18(which I'm all for).

If your caught giving it or sellling it to somebody under 18, your going to be charged with attributing to the delinquency of a minor, and right now with liquor its a fine, or up to a 5 year jail term. If the cops are called to a house party due to complaints, they're really going to have to take a hard look for it, then they're going to want to find out who supplied it, or where you bought it from, then they're going to go hard after the vendor.

If your caught with the odour of marijuana or a butt in your car, then its going to be considered like having an open container in your car, which means that your risking the loss of your license and major fines.

If your caught under the influence in your car, its a loss of your license, a heavy fine and under repeated offenses jail.

If you have an accident under the influence your looking at jail time and fines.

You can't sell it to anyone else just like its illegal to sell booze to anyone else if you don't have a liquor license.

I can't see how legalizing it would change anything. And to be honest I have a bad feeling about legalizing it and selling it in a 7-11, because the last thing that we need is someone smoking up and operating a vehicle or heavy machinery, or working stonned.

In fact, the way I see it, currently someone who's found with a small amount of dope in Canada, is pretty much winked at by the police because they don't have time to deal with it, but the minute that you legalize it and it becomes like booze in its implementation, your enforcement costs are going to go way up.

Just my 2 cents.
