cannabis The legalizing of marijuana will be debated this weekend at the annual convention of the Quebec Liberal Party's youth wing. "We have a lot of questions," Isabelle Merizzi, president of the Liberal youth wing, told reporters yesterday. "I hope we get answers."

Merizzi noted that legalization of marijuana was proposed last year as well, but was not debated. This year party members from Pointe-aux-Trembles, an east-end Montreal riding, have raised the issue once more and have also proposed legalizing prostitution.

critical mass
If 53 percent of the voters want legalization isn't that saying something? You know if they had a vote who the most energized side would be. The war is lost. Warshington is spending money on some lost ideology that no one can recall. Legalize MJ and try to fix something that really needs fixing.

How about breaking up every corporation with a market capitalization of a trillion dollars? There is another war that you could fight for the next 25 years or are the multinationals just to powerful to even start with?

Or how about changing Martin Luther King Day to Peace Day or Christmas to Love Day or Easter to Reflection Day. There is a war in there somewhere you could win.

The laws are the problem and not the substance. Good grief already.

ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE GRASS A CHANCE.
