I feel like the legalization and/or decriminalization carrot has been dangled in front of the voting public for so long that the window for making it an election issue has passed.
It seems the general Canadian population is sick of having this "debate" around pot, most agree that it's ultimately harmless and it should be legalized and taxed like booze.
Getting caught by a cop smoking a joint isn't the same offence is was 15 years ago, I've even heard cops say "there was a time when resin on a pipe was enough to arrest you. Now even a joint or a roach isn't worth our time."
I fully support full legalization & taxing of it, but it's been quasi legal for so long now that it won't sway my vote on it's own.
