In the new year Canada will decriminilize marijuana and being caught with anything under 30 grams is only a small fine.

The US is pretty pissed off about this whole thing though.

why? it's not like we decriminalized THEIR weed...
- exador0
it's gonna happen.
word is that england is soon to follow as well...
i don't smoke much anymore, but i really like the idea of it being decriminalized...
about freaking time...

hey monnom
it's most likely due to the fact that it flies in the face of their 'so-called' war on drugs.they don't much care for us trading with cuba either and tried some dumbass attempt at making it 'against the law' for us to do so...penalizing canadian companies the trade with cuba and also with the states...
uh...
yeah...
that didn't work to well either...
besides, having tough weed laws in the states makes it easier to lock up half the black men in any given city..
and prisons are a 'for profit' business, so, you know...gots ta have that new clientelle coming through the doors all the time to keep the profits up...here's to all the awesome americans on this board...
C'MON UP!...the party is just north of ya'll....
we'll keep a bong loaded up for ya....

"besides, having tough weed laws in the states makes it easier to lock up half the black men in any given city"
how true exador...it's like in the 80's when white yuppies were being caught with cocaine and given a slap on the wrist and their black counterparts were given hard jail time for posessing the same amount of crack...it's all about control

is it really all of America that is pissed off? or is it the Bush administration who I know doesn't speak for all of America these days.
- nope0
good for them.
hopefully (years later) us will follow and stop making those horrid MARIJUANA: HARMLESS? commercials.
fucked up shit will happen if you're high or not. it really just depends on the intelligence of the people involved.

Who cares what the US thinks...the drug advisor for the white house said that marijuana trafficking contributes to terrorism and Canada’s “dangerous” drug policy is jeopardizing already strained relations with the USA. How come the American governments opinions tend to be irrational half-baked contortions of facts and completely self-centered?

fuck Canada just got a little cooler.
ok I'm keeping score.
Canada:
Better snow to ride.
Lessened crime for the puff-puff-give.
Insanely lower murder rate.
Goofy accent to make fun of.US:
California...so far it's a tie

- nope0
i'm canadian by birth and i did not have a funny accent coming here.
i just didn't speak floridian..which entails a lot of "duhs" and "yos"
- kerus0
yeah, whats this all uh-boot?

seriously, Bush should try and deal with the drug and alchohol problems in his immediate family first. Hopefully, he'll realize that locking up his family members probably isn't the best solution to those problems.

28% of people living in the netherlands have tried marjiuana and it's completely legal there...in the US the number is 41% and you go to jail for having a joint.

I hope it works in saving the Canadian government some money. Good for them. I don't think it will really effect the US though.

I've always had this real interest in Canada. Always wanted to visit. Now, after seeing 'Bowling For Columbine', I'm seriously thinking about moving there.

You won't serve jailtime in US unless you have a distributable amount (an ounce or more). Otherwise its a misdemeanor, like reckless driving.
