Marijuana legalised for recreational use: What do you think?

I have showed you the effects of marijuana. I have given you the pros and the cons of legalising marijuana. I have even given you the breakdown of what marijuana is and how common it is. What needs to be decided is what we as a society think of this touchy subject. Will any politician ever legalise marijuana? Would any supreme court pass this law? Where do you think marijuana rights and freedom will be in the next 20 years? First off I would like to say that I am for the legalisation of marijuana. The government in Canada especially has literally slapped us with so many rules here that the word ridiculous does not fit. Gun laws for one are most likely the most worst kind in North America. We are not even allowed to protect our own families if a burglar enters our home. We keep allowing the law to pass so many judgements over us without our say in any single one of them. When will this stop?

My belief is that marijuana still has a huge race to win. As long as we have the same politicians we will not get different results. We need somebody that looks like the people that is for the people, and does not care what the "government" will think about the decisions they make for the people. We need to kick these old geezers out of power and instill people that represent the current generation. The reason as to why marijuana is not legalised in my opinion is because of moral standards. There will be a heavy load of backlash that politicians do not want to deal with. There was a recent case that came to mind about how the medical marijuana system in Canada was a joke. People were not getting fast service as to renewing there licences to smoke, or getting the prescriptions from the doctors in a certain amount of time. This would therefore force them to the black market, and purchase illegally for something they were suppose to get from the government. This system was turning people who were law abiding citizens into criminals. A Ontario judge ruled that the marijuana laws were unconstitutional, and gave the government  90 days to fix the law or else marijuana would be legal in the province on Ontario.

 

I will like to conclude with saying that, sometimes I guess it is not about the money. Even though the legalisation of marijuana would put billions of dollars in the governments pocket, image is more important. Even some doctors don't prescribe there patients marijuana when they have the power to, because no doctor wants that reputation. People getting medical treatment is not more important. Laws can be passed down and written in  stone, but people will still do whatever they want to. The laws might have been the same for the past 100 years, but the people have not put down there weed either, why stop now?
