fish_fishburn Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 He also says he will take more than 2 million possession convictions off the books. Is this just a ploy to get votes or do you think he would really make it happen. Last year there were over 40 thousand simple possession charges given out in Canada which gives the individual charged a criminal record. He is keeping his cards close to his chest for now but what do you guys think about this. I think its a great idea since the war on drugs has been nothing but a huge waste of money and resources.
manitoubass2 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Marijuana is of the earth. No synthetic alterations. It should be legal anyhow. I myself dont smoke weed but i dont judge those that do. Yes I think this is a political ploy but it will garner him ALOT of votes
Mike Pike Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 WHAT!!!!!!!!!!????????????? ...oh wait, I read leagalize 'cannibals.' Nevermind.
smitty55 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I wouldn't trust that guy at all. He's the biggest fraud of them all IMO. This country would go downhill fast with him running the show. Scary! Cheers
Raf Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I don't disagree with legalizing but.. this is propably the 1st thing he's actually stood up and let his position be known on. The guy's a spineless dramatic flea and doesn't seem to have an opinion on anything just a lot of dramatic flair. If this is what get him into office, we're in serious trouble as a country.
OhioFisherman Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Just from this side of the border? The war on pot has worked about as well as prohibition did, and if our government was so concerned about our safety? Why are Tobacco and Alcohol still legal? Some here call it a gateway drug? Perhaps because they saw Reefer Madness and knew the government lied? So they try other things to find out what else they lied about? I don't use it myself anymore, but did in the past, they should spend the time, money, and manpower to get rid of the really dangerous drugs out there? Here some states are looking at what a cash cow it has become for other states and rethinking their plans.
AKRISONER Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 there are some fantastic statistics about the effect legalization has had in places like Colorado. perhaps the most interesting one http://rt.com/usa/182940-medical-marijuana-opioid-overdose/ personally I wish it got legalized so that stoners would have nothing to talk about anymore lol
John Bacon Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I don't smoke it myself; however, I do support legalization. I know some otherwise law abiding citizens who hold steady jobs or run businesses who do smoke pot. I don't think they should have criminal records just because they smoke a joint one in awhile. That is still not enough to get me to vote for Trudeau though.
aznphil Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 now theres an actual idea that can actually boost the economy...one more idea than all the other parties
Joey Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I used to smoke it but don't anymore. I'm definitely for it being legalized, but don't think I'd vote for him myself.
lew Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Never tried it either but have plenty of friends who did and it wouldn't bother me in the least if it was legalized. As for Trudeau, I'd vote for a dead carp before him.
Terry Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 vote liberal legal pot legal pot vote liberal sorry marry jane, you will just have to wait
knightfisher Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Have a link to back that up. Nothing currently on the news, less this is just one of his older comments.
dave524 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Tell me they don't looked blasted I'm not making fun of anyone's physical appearance, again. Edited March 17, 2015 by dave524
123chadder Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 the frustrating thing is hemp is cannabis,the natural fiber that built the us.....strongest organic fiber in the world!billion dollar industry not utilized cause the government cant admit they were wrong
dave524 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I see hemp products all the time in stores and BTW I support the legalization of marijuana, actually lived a block or 2 east of Rochdale College while attending U of T 69 to 74, Yorkville was a couple of blocks the other direction, not the high end yuppie shops in those days, everyone did it then.
Blue Lk Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 If by some miracle this "drama teacher" becomes our next PM,I have 2 things on my agenda, 1 Increase the size of my herb garden. 2 Buy shares of snack food companies.
craigdritchie Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 The two problems with Justin Trudeau are that (1) he's a liberal, and (2) he's a moron. Unless you really want to lose your house and life savings, pray to God this is the high point in his political career.
Paudash Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 For him to lead with this shows what else he has got to offer nothing at all, he is a waste of space living off his Dads good name can't wait for his first debate
Rizzo Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 don't really care about the legalization or not, but anyone who votes for Trudeau has clearly smoked waaaayyyy too much already
manitoubass2 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 It's settled then. he will get in. Sad but probably true lol
GbayGiant Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I wouldn't trust that guy at all. He's the biggest fraud of them all IMO. This country would go downhill fast with him running the show. Scary! Cheers Like Harper has done such a fantastic job. The country couldn't be in worse shape. Wait and see.
NAW Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I'm not to sure about this one. For sure. 100% agree with the pot thing. And I was raised Liberal. But I don't know about this Justin kid...
