The article also aptly mentioned that despite our harsher laws in the US, a higher proportion of high school kids down here in the US smoke the wacky tabacky. Who the fuck are we? Any Canadians haev any thoughts on our silly drug laws. I figure two can play at that game, maybe you canucks should start finding ways to interfere in our domestic affairs.

Same goes for The Netherlands. Legalizing it made it less desireable to kids - and they also have a lower percentage of people under 21 smoking than the US. They also have lower hard drug issues.

Extasy was a problem in the Netherlands when I was there last but I hear that tapered down too now that clinical depression is scientifically linked to its abuse.

I was wondering about that. I mean how would we put tariffs on Canada's primary exports--pretentious singers and moderately amusing comedians-- anyway?

But on a serious note, this doesn't surprise me. Bush is gunning for dictator and make no mistake. It sickens me.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Canadians for my government having such a stick up its ass about marijuana.

I'm a member of NORML and they reported about this story a while back. I love Canada, and it's a shame that the American government doesn't share more of their vaules.
