Exactly, for some odd reason it seems that most people who are opposed to legalization seem to think that would mean a total legalization of it. We are not asking to give it to children or to smoke in public parks. I think that weed should be legalized but with all the same laws as alcohol. You have to be 21 to buy (and smoke) it. Strong laws against smoking and driving. And still the same laws against public intoxication. I think it sucks that this bill was voted down but it does show that canada is very progress in its marijuana outlook, this would have never even made it as bill or even a mention in the US. I see pot being atleast decriminalized and maybe even legalized in all of canada as well as a few other countries within 10 years. US will probably follow suit eventually but it will be awhile..
