I'm still not sure about the marijuana debate either. Pretty tame drug, sure. But do we really want a society full of people getting high a lot? What are the repercussions of that? Not so sure it would be positive.

It's not the use of marijuana that is the devistating part on society, it is the organized criminal factor involved in it. Even if it is legalized and sold in stores, there will still be a criminal component to it. Maybe not as much in Canada but these same organized crime groups (assuming the government allows for the legalized cultivation of marijuana) will use this legal ability of growing marijuana in Canada to ship it around the world, creating and maintaining the same problem that is going on in central America.
