RE: ☑Vote Passed Today: Marijuana Legalized In Canada Oct.17/2018!
That is great news and it is about time that the United States and Mexico does the same thing. This war on pot is ridiculous. There are people in prison for life for pot here in the United States.
The next thing that needs to be done is to release all "criminals" who are in the prison and jail systems for pot related stuff.
I totally agree ! Its insane what they do down there, the prisons are over capacity and just keep building new ones , all at the tax payers expense ! such BS! Check out the link I added under the flag, thers quite a few states that have now legalized it in different ways mind you, with more being added all the time, ! 👍👍👍😁🚬
Yeah there are even some police forces where they guarantee to arrest a certain amount of people each year. They just go around looking for trouble a lot of times and then a lot of prisons are privately owned so there is a lot of money in getting the prisons filled up. It is nuts.
No kidding eh! what BS!👎👎👎
I got this from the link above:
"In the neighboring US, nine states and the District of Columbia now allow for recreational marijuana use, and 30 allow for medical use."
Yeah and it is so dumb that it is broken up like that to be honest. There used to be a time when the drinking laws were all over the place like that where the drinking age was 19 in some states and 21 in others states so you had people traveling to the next states over and all that. It was just silly. Even my home state of Indiana they can't sell alcohol on Sundays. It is like imposing some weird religious thing on everyone I guess. It doesn't make any sense.
Sound rediculous ! something like that should be the same across the country . Like here the new marijuana law by the Government that passed it is the same for everyone, but each province can also add or restrict their own laws on top of that ! so say what I can do here in BC I cant do one province over in Alberta. So stupid!😬
And let's not forget to wipe that record clean so that they can get a job upon release.
Agreed, especially since some of the older life sentences were for mere possession.
I had a friend in California whose older brother was murdered in prison, having been sent there for a single joint, after a cop found it on a rourine traffic stop. The really sad part was that it wasn't even his joint; a friend had left it in his car, and he didn't even know it was there.
If weren't for our profit-driven "drug war," he would most likely still be alive today, having lived a good, full life.
It is really sad and there needs to be a continued public outcry of this kind of bullshit. All for profit they keep shoving these non violent "criminals" in with legit crazy killers and rapist. I mean WTF
No argument. It's been going on for way too long.
Prison for profit was a bad idea from the get go.
