Legalize Pot: Canadian Experience

I must say that I'm really glad that Canada took such a logical view on cannibus. They realized that it just isn't a problem and is a waste of time to go around arresting and going through the whole process just for a non-significant amount of Marijuana. I personally have never smoked pot and never intend to. I don't smoke neither drink but despite this I am still capable of understanding that on the one hand, regardless of the effects it has on people and the brain, regardless of the addictive possibilities, it is not the responsibility of the government to control what we injest as free citizens. Let people make their own choices. If the government can regulate it's distribution we can ensure pot isn't laced with heroin, that it isn't exposed to young children (as much) and that it is used more responsibly than it is now. But then, you probably all know this. 1.) Legalize it 2.) Tax it very, very, very heavily.
