Gulia Turco’s raises some extremely good points on the recent legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, and the effect that this will have on the economy of the states. Something to consider though the legalization of this substances in two states is the acceptance of this legalization thought the nation and through, the continent. It can now be expected that more and more people will become accepting of the recent legalization and therefore many more states, and countries will move into legalizing cannabis.
So can Canada expect to see laws passed legalizing the use of cannabis across the nation for non-medical use? I believe that like America, the acceptance of the use of this drug is varies extremely depending on where you live, but I not see these laws being passed in the near future, although the nation would benefit from these economic sales. As Gulia points out, there are further benefits to legalizing the drug, but the primary benefit for government is the reducing of cost in fighting this trend of illegal use of a drug.
