Do you support the legalization of Marijuana?

Medical marijuana has been legal in Canada since 2001 to people who suffer from AIDS, epilepsy, cancer and other terminal illnesses. In 2014 doctors were given the ability to prescribe marijuana to any patient who they deemed required it. In 2016 the Liberal party announced they would be proposing legislation in 2017 to legalize the use of recreational marijuana for adults over the age of 18.

I support decriminalization of Marijuana, it is not the same as legalization. Holding, using, and selling Marijuana should have never been a crime at the first place.

 @9MRCRCDConservativefrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

I don't really care but I think the people that want to smoke will go and find it even if its not legal. If they are buying it illegally they can be put in dangerous situations from drug dealers, their marijuana being laced, or getting robbed.

 @93SSWM6Conservativefrom Nova Scotia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but increase the age

 @93RRXCXConservativefrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

no becayse i hate the smell

 @8VDBBDPConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only for medical use and criminalize tobacco

 @8TZ9RMMConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

It should be decriminalized, and unregulated.

 @8SRDJJWConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but only if its private

 @8PVY3YTConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, because it can cause dangerous scenarios. When under the influence of any narcotics, you have no control over yourself.

 @8DQ2S2LConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

I refuse to jump in this can of worms and remain neutral

 @8DJXKN4Conservativefrom British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

I think laws should be more strict around it

 @9B4R99KConservativefrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

its a personal preference; i dont do drugs so it doesn't apply to me

 @8TX4X5TConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for marijuana offenses. Then tax, legalize and regulate marijuana. But heavy penalties for anyone that doesnt live by the regulations.

 @96D8MBBConservativefrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

They should make it illegal right now.

 @8SGXQ5C from Colorado  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but it is a States rights issue

 @8SGXQ5C from Colorado  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but this should be a states rights issue

 @84JHJXZ from GU  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, for both medical and personal use. Also, release those serving time solely for drug possession.

The Great Progressive Exodus: Inside the Left's War Against Harris

One of the central mysteries of this election has been to what extent the left will defect from Democrats, potentially costing Harris the election with votes for JILL STEIN or CORNEL WEST. Stein is far from concerned about that, NYT’s Matt Flegenheimer captures in a lengthy and dishy profile. For the first time ever, Democrats are launching an ad campaign against a third-party candidate (Stein) over the coming weeks. And even Stein’s own family and friends tell the Times they don’t support her and urged her not to run. Stein, whose “bid can feel precision-engineered to damage Ms. Harris with key subgroups,” pooh-poohs what she calls the “spoiler mythology” and places the blame squarely on Democrats.On college campuses, there are some signs that the left-wing protest movement has quieted from its peak when Biden was in the race — but even a small number of defections from Dems could prove pivotal in a close election.In East Lansing, Zack Stanton reports for POLITICO Magazine that Michigan State student activists furious about the Israel-Hamas war are torn between demanding more from Harris and stopping Trump. In Chapel Hill, WSJ’s Jimmy Vielkind and Cam Pollack find that many pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of North Carolina are nonetheless weighing other issues in their vote, especially abortion rights. But liberal groups are warning that some undecided voters of color still don’t feel like they know enough to be convinced for Harris — and may leave the top of the ticket blank, AP’s Ayanna Alexander reports.
