It should ATLEAST be de-criminalized. Keep it out of the court system. There is so much $ tied up in charging people with Marijuana related offences it's ridiculous. Cigarettes kill one out of every 2 smokers. Alcohol related deaths are high as well. You don't see either of these substances illegal though because the gov't makes too much damn $! De-criminalize, legalize, whatever.

Legalize pot with the same controls as acholol and cigarettes.
Pot smoking only permitted in controlled areas (save the rest of us from the second hand smoke which smells worse than the worst cigar).
Tax it to the hilt - this might somewhat offset the enormous health costs that will occur in the future once the chronic pot smokers start to reap the results of drawing that toxic smoke into their lungs.
Though I do say I'd be a tad leery of my dentist if he had just come back from a smoke break (or my child's teacher, or my doctor, or a member of the fire department or a paramedic).................but what the heck if it's legal????

This war on drugs was lost long ago. It just makes organized crime stronger and more violent fighting for the profits. It's been around a long time and hasn't caused the downfall of out society as some fanatics believe. Regulate and tax it like alcohol and put the money that is going into the sub-culture's pocket into the public coffers.

I think it's better for people to grow their own, rather then buy it from some scumbag dealer. It would also save the courts and province's alot of money on inforcement. It's also a great plant for alot of other things like textile and food, which some companies would definetely not want!!!.
