Figure this out, government, your citizenry deserves better.

Don't worry people are only waiting 11+ months to get in on those MRI machines, no rush.
Not only that but that figure is 80% of the law enforcement budget for drug crimes. One of the least harmful drugs, legal or not, and they spend that much time and money going after it. But at least Canada is better than the US where some states (Texas for example) where marijuana possession arrests make up 70%+ of their arrest totals. It's almost like they have no other crime and/or have nothing better to do. But I guess it just makes for an easy target to arrest blacks and hispanics.
