Canada's parliament has passed a law legalising the recreational use of marijuana nationwide.

@yogthos Canadian IQ drops to 70 instantly

@faissaloo pot has been freely available here for ages, all this changes is that now you'll be able to buy it legally. This cuts out the criminal market, reduces policing costs, and generates tax revenue.

@yogthos Which in turn means more people will start using, which means you basically end up with a useless population of stoned retards.

@faissaloo anybody who wants to smoke pot can do that today, there is no barrier to that currently in Canada.

Also, pot has been consistently shown to be a safer drug than either toabacco or alcohol.

What you're claiming has zero basis in facts or reality.

@yogthos
The easier something is to do, the more people will do it. There is a barrier, it's just small, full legalisation means that you can go to the shop on the street corner and buy weed rather than needing to find someone who's got it.
Cigarettes and alcohol should be illegal outside of medicinal use.

@faissaloo @yogthos Don't know how it was in Canada, but there are places where it's illegal and yet it's been very easy to get it yourself for a long time now. Easy enough that you smell it in the streets sometimes.

These laws usually come when it's already so easy to get it, you might as well make it legal and tax it.

@artik It's like that in London.
