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.

What's your reasoning for this? It's way cheaper to grow pot in open fields than in basements. Nearly every cost associated with the growth and distribution would be massively reduced. Cigarettes are 1/10 of the cost and I'm pretty sure weed grows as fast as anything else.
I don't think the government would have any success with that approach, since all the infrastructure is already in place to grow and sell at much cheaper prices.
