There is a goldmine there for generating revenue, and the thing with pot is that if you want it, you can get it. It's not rare, and I don't believe its dangerous except for potentially in youth due to brain development. Basically if people want to smoke it, they are going to get it.
Legalize it, regulate it, and tax it. I'm all for strict control of hard drugs, but pot IMO has less ramifications on society at large than say alcohol.

You don't even need to qualify that as an opinion, it's been proven that weed is far less dangerous than alcohol or really any other drug out there

The fact that Harper is doubling down on his prohibition stance is ridiculous, but unsurprising from someone who simply ignores sciences if it contradicts his personal beliefs
