Marijuana legalization
by khrychev
Marijuana might be legalised in Vancouver, there are both advantages and disadvantages from that. Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is sure it is a right thing to do, to legalise weed and keep it under control. N tow it is easier for underage students to access weed then cigarettes, which is a great health issue. I am not a fan of weed, even more, I strongly believe no one should ever try it, because it can ruin lives. However, in my opinion Vancouver is out of control with selling weed, it is too ease to get, absolutely no control.
From business point of view, money goes to the blackmarket, out of economy, if it will be legalized, money would stay inside the economy, employment will rise and more taxes will be paid. Also, it would be an area where firms will make profits. What is more important, there would be higher control over marijuana selling. Article emphasises that it is not a great decision and that might be wrong to do anywhere else, but specifically here, in Vancouver, that is right thing to do.
In my opinion, it would be interesting to watch, how firms will enter new market and fight over market share.
