Elizabeth May said yesterday that she's in favour of legalizing marijuana, taxing it and discouraging people from using it like cigarettes.
I figure the amount of money the government could bring in from taxes and savings from all the police time and court time that goes into the marijuana production and distribution system, that government should be all for it.
But we still have this antiquated 'war on drugs' notion from the Regan era in the United States hampering what should be a flourishing movement.
Just thought i'd throw that in there.
