A lot of threads here are about the USA-side of the issue, but what's the news (if any) on the Canadian-side of the Cannabis laws? Is there even any hope while Harper is in office?

Updates, news, anyone?

No hope at all with Harper. He is so hopelessly ignorant and narrow minded. It won't happen. 35 years ago, our Government appointed the LeDain Commission to study it...they came back and said it should be legalized. The answer we still get is...their studying it. What kind of a moron studies for 35 years?

They're studying until they find something wrong. Though I can tell you what's wrong with a xanax bar that they are more than happy to perscribe for my manic depression.

Maybe change is in the air with our upcoming federal election?

Jingoism is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "extreme patriotism in the form of aggressive foreign policy".

maybe their studying consists of smoking it and they write down all their observations but by the next day they seem to 'misplace' there notes either mistakingly or purposefully...

oh and yeah harper is dumb his ad campaigns are so retarded him sitting in some type of cottage probably after slapping bums with Bush talking about his family values and other bullshit.. there is no hope for legalization or even decrim while he is in office.. im voting liberal fo sho unless there is another party that has a plan specifically outlined in their campaign to legalize or decrim marijuana
