I think there is a lot of money in weed for the government. I think the pro's outweight the cons. I am not sure how many new stoners will be around now that they can legally buy pot. I also think once the government gets a hold of it all the stoners that have been begging to get pot legal will not be so excited when they have to pay $20 a gram or whatever they will charge (rest assured it will be more than the street cost today).
Pot is no more dangerous than tobacco or booze. It can cause problems when consumed in excess but smoking a J when you want to unwind after a long week of work is fine by me. I think it will do more good for the Canadian economy than bad for society.
