I'd vote YES on that

I think it's quite hilarious that the photo they used is not even a pot plant.

I don't partake in pot smoking, but I see a lot of value in collecting taxes off the sales. I'm really not sure why the government doesn't see it in the same way. There is very little science suggesting that pot smoking is actually harmful at all besides the inhalation of any type of smoke, and indeed even the smoke is much less harmful than cigarette smoke.

I think the Canadian government is hesitant to decriminalize because "no one else is doing it". Don't wanna stick the neck out now, do we?
