October Federal Election Discussion / Poll

Decriminalizing small amounts is my personal preference, that way they can still use it to get dealers that they want for bigger stuff but can't prove and save police time on writing tickets for small amounts

and speaking of Ford and drugs

Brian Mulroney endorses Justin Trudeau

Published on April 10, 2013

Misleading headline - he brings up some of Trudeau's good points, so they are compliments, not an endorsement.

Yes...amusing indeed, and I have never smoked anything in my life, never felt the need to conform / fit into a group, which is usually the reason many people started this disgusting habit in the first place. Marijuana users are crackheads as a figure of speech (not like they are any different than cocaine and other drugs users).

Those that indulge in it, will of course argue the toss condoning the behaviour, just like messy people and those that like handouts will argue for as their God's given right.

I dunno, don't smoke, never have and this is a non-issue for me. Kind of amusing though.

One person's "small amounts", is another person's excess? That is like saying decriminalize shoplifting over burglary, or fist fight over using a weapon to attack someone. I bet the US wish they didn't have the gun issues they have now i.e. that people can pack a pistol and walk around and into Walmart and Starbucks

pothead- one that indulges in the use of marijuana
crackhead- one that indulges in the use of crack cocaine
Something has to be done about the excess use of Marijuana in young teens,it is proven that it effects the brain development greatly. If regulated I would hope it wouldn't be as accessible to them because we all know this is when addiction and moving on to harder drugs starts.

never felt the need to conform / fit into a group,

You not fitting into a group? I find that difficult to believe...

[beachdown]

You asked, so I'll answer. I see myself as a Leader vice being a follower. Unlike some, I don't say things just to please people i.e. don't pretend to be what am not, or an *** licker / kisser

I guess that's what separates me from others eh. Oh, I also don't go round swearing

I agree lecale, having a son in high school, I see firsthand the paths a lot of his friends have taken with pot and then on to other things. Good info thanks.

Looks like I was wrong about polltracker not updating this weekend.

They're now including Nanos/Angus Reid and Journal de Montreal polling done up till yesterday and have the Liberals further ahead in the seatcount. 140/120/74 LPC/CPC/NDP - and the Bloc with 3 and 1 for the Greens. So the Liberals gained 5 since yesterdays projection, the CPC and the Bloc both gained 2 and it's all at the expense of the NDP. Poor Mulcair.
