I Think Marijuana Should Be Legalized

In Canada 🇨🇦 we have had medical marijuana going back to 2001 or so. We are on our way to legalizing marijuana for recreational use, effective July 1st 2018. This has been really big in the news over the past several months. It has been covered from many different angles. I am not a pot smoker and nor do I plan on becoming one, but there have been stories in the newspaper about older seniors in their 70's, 80's and beyond smoking pot for the first time. They use it for pain and it has worked for them better than prescription medication.
