Sorry was kind of meant as what is the world thinking that this is actually an issue and this PLANT is illegal in the first place.

Why is the US catching all the blame here?

It sounds to me like the Canadian doctors are the anti-pot villians in this story.

It's actually people in the government who thought that it was a great idea, but didn't provide the infrastructure to support the programme.

Canadian activists believe that the doctors won't write the prescriptions out of fear of reprisal from the Government. That Government acts that way because of pressure from the U.S., as they do not have nearly a big a dog in the anti-cannabis fight that the U.S. does.

And Glenn Beck believes that George Soros is trying to cripple the US economy and that President Obama and pot smoking liberals hate America and want to bring us to communism.

Guess that makes it true.

Wow, that was incredibly relevant, thank you for that.

I think its pretty obvious that the Canadian population has a different view of Cannabis than the U.S. population does. Yet it still remains illegal there....

There is actual proof of this BTW, I'm looking for a websource...but I gotta run the dogs. Give me a bit here and I'll see if I can find some info to back up my conspiratorial claims.

The point was that beliefs mean nothing unless they can be proven.

Have fun with the dogs. Post the links when you find them.

They're a lot more believeable than Glenn Beck's claims

One of the reasons that it remains illegal here is that our current government is led by hide-bound idiots, who seem to believe that the neo-con agenda was handed down, along with the stone tablets. While I tend to lean to the conservative side (pause for laughter from American 'conservatives'), I also believe in a certain amount of expediency.

We also had a rather different view on Prohibition, back in the early part, of the last century.

Want to see how much pressure our government puts on other countries, go look at all the stories from when Portugal decriminalized possession amounts for personal use. We're assholes.
