We have all seen the veiled Conservative governments latest attempt at using our tax dollars to make their political rivals look bad with their REEFER MADNESS advertisement which claims that Marijuana is 300 to 400 times more powerful than it was 30 years ago which is possibly true.
Did you know that the prohibition moonshine alcohol (everclear) that was made in the days of alcohol prohibition was anywhere from 160-200 proof and contained any number of toxic metals and chemicals, lead, and methanol for example and killed thousands of people all through prohibition until the government finally legalized, taxed and regulated alcohol once again and once more made it safer for consumption. For one thing it is cut 4 or 5 times down to the normal 40 proof you buy in the liquor store only after you show your ID.
To any reasonable rational person the fact that marijuana is 300-400 times stronger than it was 30 years ago is even more reason for this product to be legalized and regulated for it’s purity was well as strength and just as important keeping it out of the hands of children, as any fool knows pot is easier for children to get than alcohol or tobacco, as would be expected with any regulated product such as alcohol or tobacco.
I don’t expect Neanderthals like the Conservative to ever get it, but the fact is 71 percent of Canadians want to either decriminalize or legalize marijuana such as is happening right now in America the birthplace of the tragic, costly, failed war on drugs. In BC the figures are even more prominent, 54 percent are for the full legalization and regulation of pot.
