An example of how keeping herb illegal in the US can adversely affect other countries, as well as our own. The US gov. has no one to blame but them selves.

"The situation is also spotlighting sharp differences in the way the two countries deal with drug crimes, with some officials and experts on both sides of the border saying Canada??s less stringent drug laws have made it harder to stem the flow of contraband moving north and south" -utter bullshit

I find it amazing that they dont seem to grasp that this problem was created and is maintained by the prohibition of pot, and that it could easily be resolved by simply legalizing pot.



??The U.S. takes a sterner attitude on these things ?? more of a prohibition mode,? said Christopher Sands, an expert on Canada at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. ??Our philosophies are out of whack, and this increased flow is freaking out the Americans while the Canadians are more blasé.?

Wow, that makes no fucking sense, if its true what the article says about trading US Coke and guns for BC bud, then it should be the Canadians pissed off at us! Bud comes into our country, guns and coke leave our country... We should be fuckin happy...
