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.

@B4BH7Y82wks2W
It's been done and now everyone is doing weed all the time. Where they do it, should be regulated so that it doesn't bother others.
@B3DMPB41mo1MO
ONLY for medical use when a prescription is given by a physician. And only to be filled at a pharmacy
@9M9P7XT11mos11MO
I believe we should treat Marijuana as a medicine as supposed to a recreational drug, and start selling it as pills for medical use.
@9M8ZG9Q11mos11MO
I feel it isn't a bad thing but any over uses or illegal or excessive dealing should be punished accordingly.
@9LMNP5M12mos12MO
I would legalize it only for medical purposes since doctors sometimes give these out to people who have
I don’t think marijuana should be illegal but I don’t support the legalization either I think it should be decriminalized, so the government has nothing to do with it
@9K4H6WC1yr1Y
Marijuana should only be available to those above the age of 21 and sellers of this product would need to see an id of some sort.
@9JR48SQ1yr1Y
yes but i think more and more underage children are using it and getting addicted so i think it should be harderto get
@9JDNJB31yr1Y
If it has a good result keep it but if it doesn't change anything like debilitation gangs ban it, please.
@9H8JRFD1yr1Y
Yes for the use of medical purposes but I do not support the government’s use of genetic modification to the marijuana
@9ZNZZY85mos5MO
Yes, but better regulations need to be put in place as not all strains and cannabis products are equal in social impact or side effects.
@9VKP3M76mos6MO
I don't really care that much about it, I feel it doesn't concern me whether it's legal or not or if people do it.
@9QQVM6K9mos9MO
Yes to an extent, I support the legalization of marijuana especially for medical purposes. However, I still believe there should be stricter regulations to address its potential risks, like it being a gateway drug. I think it's important to balance accessibility with responsible use to make sure it benefits those who need it. I'm not saying you can't use it for other reasons that aren't medical, but I think if you are it's important to be cautious because marijuana is still a drug and you can still become addicted to it which can lead to potential medical complications.
@9PQQXRY10mos10MO
Medical use only if proven it works for patient. Did not work for me at all. Regulate instead of criminalized.
@9MRCRCDConservative11mos11MO
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.
@9MFDJDK11mos11MO
Least harmful drug, pushes people to do that instead of "illegal" drugs. Legalized marijuana has proven to help in multiple ways.
@9L63WVW1yr1Y
I neither support nor disagree with the legalization of marijuana, people are entitled to do whatever they want.
@9L2P5YG1yr1Y
NO. It should be banned. People in non-violent situations should receive reform and ways to get out of it. Violent and repeat offenders should be punished severely.
@9BN23J3New Democratic2yrs2Y
Decriminalize the use of cannabis.
@93WZMFQ3yrs3Y
I do not have an opinion on it.
@93RW4FH3yrs3Y
yes, but b e more cautious on the age range using it.
@93RRXCXConservative3yrs3Y
no becayse i hate the smell
@93RMTPP3yrs3Y
It really dosent effect me
@93QY49J3yrs3Y
No, but it's acceptable for medical use.
@8ZZ2TB63yrs3Y
Depends, ask them what they want to do with it and confirm they aren't lying
@8XZC2RV3yrs3Y
Yes I support ending the war on drugs as well
@8WLHRJS3yrs3Y
Only with the same restrictions as alcohol
@8VZJJDR4yrs4Y
Marijuana should be legal but I suggest making the legal age 25 due to the brains development.
@8VQGGGX4yrs4Y
Yes, but it there should be clear, enforced laws on where and when it is used, and it should be not be legal until 21 years of age.
@8VPZYZJ4yrs4Y
Yes. However, all drugs should be adequately prescribed and regulated by a qualified and responsible healthcare provider.
@Jjulip4yrs4Y
Yes, but the minimum age should be raised to 23 since it affects young brains
@8VMW7J24yrs4Y
No because its not being used medically. Its just adding to the drug problem.
@8VLQ88S4yrs4Y
Allow medical use, increase punishment for non-medicinal use.
@8VKZ7N74yrs4Y
Yes, but would have preferred decriminalization over legalization
@8VKD4HP4yrs4Y
Yes and allow anyone to grow and sell as much as they want.
@8VJHCRQ4yrs4Y
Yes but allow private citizens to grow and dispense without government regulations. Abolish government run grow old and dispensaries.
@8VJDW6G4yrs4Y
Only for medical use and not allow smoking of it in public or multi family residences
@8VHF5PZ4yrs4Y
Only if used for medical reasoning
@8VH9R644yrs4Y
no because some people might fake needing it so they can get high
@8VH9R5VNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I don't really care, if people smoke it or not.
@8VH6TDM4yrs4Y
It depends on how you use it
@8VFMNT94yrs4Y
Yes, and expunge the record of everyone ever convicted of simple possession as there was never any evidence to support the prohibition of cannabis in the first place
@8VDBBDPConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for medical use and criminalize tobacco
@8VC9J3C4yrs4Y
Additional legislation must be put in place to prevent grow operations take place in communities under the guise of medical marijuana.
@8VB9S9V4yrs4Y
Yes, but could we do something about where it’s allowed to be consumed? It stinks!
@8VB7VGY4yrs4Y
All or no drugs should be legal
Yes but limit the amount of pot shops, every block is too much
@8V6MHYB4yrs4Y
Decriminalize use, not sale
@8V5K53J4yrs4Y
Government should have zero involvement and it should be run privately
@8V5F45P4yrs4Y
yes with higher legal age limits relevant to brain development
@8V4B5V54yrs4Y
Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses + legalize, tax and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it.
The decriminalization of the drug itself should happen it’s a harmless plant that no one should get jail time for owning or consuming.. other drugs should be hit hard and really attack the people attacking the people with hard drugs
@8TZ9RMMConservative4yrs4Y
It should be decriminalized, and unregulated.
@8TYT3LW4yrs4Y
Yes, but with more rules
@8TW6FNG4yrs4Y
It is already legalized. Decided. So it does not matter if I do or do not support it. There are now other things to consider, taking into consideration that it is now legal.
@8TVM5T44yrs4Y
Don’t really have a preference
Yes if the usage is within regulation and is not done illegally.
@8TCG9Q44yrs4Y
Yes, but not in public areas, and it should be heavily taxed and never advertised
@8TBCC254yrs4Y
idc if folks smoke marijuana or not, it doesnt affect me so i support them if they wanna smoke marijuana or not
@8SVJD4N4yrs4Y
No, but reversing the decision is a waste of time.
@8SLS73S4yrs4Y
YES and It should be sold in groceries store and florist shop
@8S73DY84yrs4Y
yes and end the war on drugs
@8RMQMBM4yrs4Y
yes, but only for regulated use and strictly watched
@8RH7JFT4yrs4Y
No, but it makes no sense to go backwards now that it’s legal
@8RDST2J4yrs4Y
Decriminalize weed, free drug offences
@8R8TM8Q4yrs4Y
For medical use only but if someone else is caught with it they only have to pay a small fine
@8R854XR4yrs4Y
yes,but there should be laws programs to educate kids on it so they don't get addicted
@8PYBNGW4yrs4Y
The government should de-criminalize all substances
@8PVY3YTConservative4yrs4Y
No, because it can cause dangerous scenarios. When under the influence of any narcotics, you have no control over yourself.
@8PRDD354yrs4Y
Yes but make the age to purchase 25+ because it negativity affects brain development
@8PQL4GY4yrs4Y
Yes, however I would like users to not be able to partake in outdoors in public spaces just like alcohol. If people wish to smoke marijuana, I would like them to do it at home or away from public spaces. I don't want to be on a walk and be stuck downwind to someone who is walking and smoking. It could affect children who are walking too and I don't want that around my children.
@8P4P98S4yrs4Y
No, only allow medical use of Marijuana prescribed by a medical doctor.
@8NSNTQJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but It cannot be too expensive so as not to drive users to the dangerous Black Market.
@8KXVRNM4yrs4Y
treat it as if it were any other plant and people will eventually forget about it
@8DS4HYH5yrs5Y
yes, but only for certain ages and a certain amount per month or week
i support legalization of marijuana, but think more regulations should be used to prevent under age use
@9BQH2292yrs2Y
best dissions The Country has ever made
@9BFHLR2Rhinoceros2yrs2Y
I do not feel that it should be criminalized, but I also think we should limit substances that do harm to their users
@9BDM79X2yrs2Y
yes depends on medical and how people are using it
@9BCB3W52yrs2Y
Yes and no depends to what you use it for
@9B4YGKT2yrs2Y
I hate all narcotics yet do not want harm to come to those who use it, rehabilitation is best
@996WYRC2yrs2Y
Yes...but it shouldn't be allowed to be used in public. Only at home or licensed establishments.
@982YYJN2yrs2Y
Yes but it was done poorly and clearly only people within the "boys club" were licensed to grow/sell but most of them have no idea what they were doing so the quality of the product is terrible, and pricing is awful so people are still buying off the street.
@98278JD2yrs2Y
If it is safe, then yes. However, if people are stoned and are harming themselves or others, actions should be taken.
@97XSRBK2yrs2Y
depeneds it could be used for medical pourpouses
@97WSTML2yrs2Y
Yes legalize marijuana to certain amount
@977Q3X3New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for decriminalization of drugs
@8VS4SD74yrs4Y
My issue has more to do with people who assume that if its legal they can smoke it anywhere in public like cigarettes. If you can’t walk on the street with a beer in your hands, you shouldn’t be allowed to smoke pot either
@8VRKGGYNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Should be illegal in those <25 years
@8VJ8ZRD4yrs4Y
Yes and use the new tax revenue to stop tax hikes in other areas
@8V6M89HNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, it should not have been legalized for recreational use. I do support decriminalization of drug users, however drug dealers should be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law.
@8TVQYLP4yrs4Y
Yes, release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses, and tax and regulate marijuana
@8TVDNB74yrs4Y
I dont smoke so it makes no difference to me.
@8KD4FFX4yrs4Y
I don't mind it, just don't do anything stupid.
@9CFWYG82yrs2Y
No, and reinstate the death penalty for drug possession.
@9C82P2K2yrs2Y
As long as there are enough safety regulations present to support all those who choose to use it.
@9B459CP2yrs2Y
It should be legal for prescriptions and for growing.
Only if you are an adult and use it properly.
@99WLQJ62yrs2Y
No what moron thought this was a good idea.
@97W7B5N2yrs2Y
it allows the use of a drug that isn't the best but isn't the worst. I think that it was for people to do drugs without being arrested or fined, but not have the worst consequences
