As a long time canabis smoker, i'm not really sure if legalisation is the way to go.
For sure, it is not a hard drug, but it cause problems nevertheless.
At a point in my life, i was smoking about 5g of the stuff every single days. And while this is quite a lot imo, i knew (and still knows) people that smoke more.
When my girlfrien gave birth to my daughter, it took my almost a year to break the habit. And at that time, my job was a bad one and i was not gaining that much money, barely enough to pay for all the things childrens and familly needs. But as much as i knew that i did'nt had the money for it, i was still unable to bring myself to quit. Wich mean that while my child never missed anything essential, there was barely enough of it.
Now that i have reduced my consomation to a bearable level, i understand that the harder thing to do was not break the physical dependancy (wich is a very low level one, but still existing contrary to what so-called specialist say) but the psychological one is really strong, for me at teh very least.
But anyway, when every thing is said and done, i think that in fact legalisation would not change much, weed is such an easy drug to obtain that legal or not, if somebody want some, he will get it easily.
The good point about legalistion is that i may help control it's consomation among teen, but i don't really think so, Alcool is 18+ here, and i have been buying in directly from the store since i'm like 12...
As for those who say that driving under the influence of weed is not that bad, i want to ask: Ever tried it?
I did, quite many time, and as an heavy smoker don't have problem doing it after a joint or two. But i remember full well a night where i smoked close to 10g with a friend in the span of a few hours. I was wonderind why everybody where driving SO fast thins night, till a realised some 10 minutes latter that i was the one driving WAY too slowly (about 40Km in a 90Km zone).
Well, it may not be that dangerous driving way to slow in term of big impact, but if i have been able to drive this slowly this long withoput realising it, what else did i did'nt realise about what was going on around me...

Wizard's first rule
eople are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.
