The States of what Michael Moore calls The Big One (The U.S.A. has no real name!) used to think of themselves as independent of one another, before the American Revolution.
And thought of themselves as nations in an alliance, much like the countries in the EU today, between the Revolution and the Civil War.
When's NZ gonna do the easy thing and merge in with Australia and their laws?
Or how bout Indonesia and their laws?!

Things used to be different, the states had all the power and federal government was only allowed to be involved in interstate issues, but then came the Great Depression. The New Dealers and FDR came into power and essentially rewrote the Constitution to give the U.S. federal government all the power, and everything has pretty much been downhill since then.

The thing about Canada is that eventhough marijuana isint decriminalized if a cop busted you with a few grams they might take it away and thats it. They wouldnt ever arrest you for having weed unless you had like an ounce. Also cops neverl ever go to someones house looking for marijuana unless someones growing tons of plants, or is suspected to.

If Canada drecminalised it might make some other western countries wake up a little, which can only be a good thing!

K well these my friends and these two guys i know were smokin at this little creek and its like behind some building in our small town with lots of trees around it. Then this guy walks by walking his dog. So we get all freaked out and like put it away then me and my friends left, but the other two guys stayed there and kept smoking. I just found out today that the cops came where they were and arrested one of them while the other one ran away before they came. The one kid got hand cuffed and taken away in a cop car, but i dont know if he got charged yet, ill tell you when i find out.

That might be why,its like in the UK you're far more likely to get into trouble if you're a young teenager smoking it than an adult, as they want to discourage youngsters I guess.
