Argentina court allow personal use of pot

#4
I'm as conservative as can be, but I really don't understand why it's illegal. I never have, nor would I ever use pot. But it doesn't seem any worse than alcohol (take into consideration my non-usage comment). I would rather be driving on the road with someone who had smoked pot than someone who was a drinking. In my opinion, the government should legalize it and use that tax money to start paying down our massive debt.

Come to Quebec friends, it's this way too.

Actually, personal use is legal, but buying it is illegal. Go figure.

not without a prescription......it's still illegal in canada,maybe not strictly enforced,but still illegal.....

i'd bet that a lot of places will decriminalize pot usage now that they don't face reprisals from dc.......the previous government here was threatened with a huge tightening of the u.s. the border when they tried decriminalizing it here

"What Argentina and Mexico are doing in many ways is blazing a new path."
I think they'll be blazing something else too :D


I'm glad to see that our society is beginning to realize exactly how arbitrary the past criminalization of marijuana is. It had nothing to do with safety. I give it 10 years in the majority of Western nations, at most.

yea, all the BS about pot really has to change. Not saying its good for a person but look at what alcohol does to a person - pot is really tame comparatively speaking. Plus we have these people actually doing time for a little pot on the tax payer dime.

Legalize it and tax it. THAT's a tax I'd support :)
