Don't doubt it for a second;

Our law enforcement is against de-criminalization! Ask why, and a very rational explanation ensues:

Cops deal with bad guys. Bad guys almost always have drugs on them. Forget the fact that the simple act of drug posession is illegal for the moment...

If you are running guns, robbing people, all that jazz, you probably have some swag on you.

The cops therefore see drugs surrounding all different kinds of crime, and put two and two together. Now, the fact that the vast majority of criminals also were wearing shoes does not criminalize footwear in the cops eyes; they are also wearing shoes. Society has put alot of time and effort to perpetuate the criminal myth surrounding marijuana, so much so that science has not been allowed to study the drug and its effects, due to law enforcement.

Cops aren't stupid. They are just connecting two related pieces of the environment (drugs and crime) and making a logical step of causation. Personally, I think they are wrong.

I think that the decriminaliztion of marijuana is a positive step for our society, and I will enjoy the national pride that it brings. US foreign policy is shitting a diamond, worried that all of the potheads in Canada will invade their 7-11 stores at the border. Seriously, politicians will have to decide on having a relatively open border and trade policy or enforcing their own drug rules. They can't have both.

UNLESS: The US politicians can somehow convince Canada to NOT pass bill C-38, thereby imposing their drug policy on us. That is what has happened.

I read somewhere (I don't know where) that over 60% of BC residents have smoked cannibis in THE PAST YEAR. Those crazy BC boys.
