The motion in question states that "a new Liberal government will legalize marijuana and ensure the regulation and taxation of its production, distribution, and use, while enacting strict penalties for illegal trafficking, illegal importation and exportation, and impaired driving."

I'm curious to see how they plan to enforce impaired driving.... How do you prove someone is impaired..

[andyt]

What does that have to do with legalization? How do they do it now?

[DanSC]

I'll support this only if people can now get stoned with the Sovereign. The Queen could stand to chillax.

I'd sit down and smoke weed with Kate any old time, if I still smoked weed, tho with her I might make an exception. Liz might be a little too freaky.

Their desperation to be relevant again is staggering.

Just wave a bag of Doritos by the driver-side window.

It's a good plan politically to hit some notes with the young crowd.

Hey OTI, your ignorance is showing Turns out the two largest imbibing groups are young people and those 50 and OVER!!
Yep, turns out a lot of over 50s used to smoke weed but gave it up for the responsibilities of raising families. Now that their responsibility in that regard is finished and they no longer have big bills to cover, they can go back to enjoying a bit of what mother nature provides.

Your question implies there's a huge mass of law abiding people out there who would love to smoke weed and would go whole hog on it the minute it's legalized. But, they're not so law abiding that they would refrain from driving stoned. Pretty silly proposition, you've got to admit.

If we really cared about impaired driving, we'd ban alcohol.

Yet the 50+ group won't vote for a party for that sole reason where young people just might.

Yeah, yer right. Didn't quite see the point you were making intially.
