The reason I say that is pot already was decriminalized here in canada and would have stayed that way if marc emery hadn't done his "summer of legalization" rally thing.
He brought to much attention to it and pissed off the DEA, and now its back to being illegal.

If it were decriminalized again and everyone just acted cool about it I think it would stay for a while...in Canada anyways.
The Cheech and Chong stoners need to stay out of it. Getting it decriminalized or legal is ONLY going to happen for "medical" use. Responsible adults.

Too many bad stigmas and propanga, that and the drug trade is very profitable for the so called black market.

Shortly after 9/11 cops took a slightly more slanted view on all illegal drugs including cannabis, as most were told that terrorists gained most or all of their money from selling and producing drugs. Around here it's common knowledge for most insiders that local police departments and sheriffs take money from dope dealers. In turn they don't get busted as long as they pay the man and they're protected from rival dealers / gangs and outside authorities to a certain extent. Street cops are not allowed to go into known drug areas. They're told that certain areas are off limits and narcotics officers have these restricted areas under watch. Narcs mostly bust users and occasionally bust someone with weight who's trying to enter the established market or some other way pissed someone off.

As with anything illegal or taboo, a certain type of people are going to be attracted to it and control it. Self proclaimed bad asses if you'd like to say.

If everyone grew their own smoke and kept their illegal hobby a secret, going as far as to letting everyone believe you don't smoke or do anything remotely illegal. The cannabis world would be rastafied

Though most people I know who smoke abuse cannabis, daily smokers with no other problem other than being lazy, lack drive, and or low life trash. There are the few who don't abuse and smoke daily, to help them medically either suggested, prescribed or self medicated. From helping with muscle spasms to insomnia.


CYA, cover your ass. Keep your cannabis business classified. Rejoice when it is legal. :greenthumb:
