It doesn't matter that even the US is starting to wave the white flag on the failed (and very expensive) war on drugs. Or that a country like Portugal mostly fixed their rampant drug addiction problem by decriminalizing and treating it as a health care issue.
He's high on gas fumes though.

Right, whatever you say, Harper.
I love how politicians like him are always like to bring out that line "the people don't want it." Yet, they never say we'll let them vote on it...because they might vote for it.
Why don't you go waste more tax payer money on anti weed psa propaganda?
