way to go!!! i have been smoking pot for over 30 years (dont drink or smoke cigs or do any other drugs) i feel that pot is way less harmfull than alcohol (lost many friends to drinking...none to smoking pot!!) oh and i am not a loser nor am i a criminal, i am self employed (drywalling) and making a good living. i also am a good father and husband. more politicians should look this over and consider this route as a great way to reduce the bad publicity that the politicians and media created regarding "pot"...it is not as damaging as alcohol. i have seen the real affects of alcohol and hard drugs..where i live we have many villages with drinking problems and their social life is affected the young girls are raped and abused because of alcohol!!!! and nothing is said as it is hidden in their community. again way to go Mcginn, hopefully B.C/Canada will follow suit.
