Ottawa (AFP) - Canada will next year become the first country in the G7 bloc of leading economies to legalize marijuana, the government said Friday in a speech by the governor general.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had promised the move during the recent election campaign that swept his Liberals to power, after two previous administrations failed to follow through on a similar pledge.

33. Once back in the day . . .

A redneck logger type picked me up hitchhiking the interstate South through Oregon. He took me over fifty miles to the California line, where he pulled his pickup over onto the shoulder. He told me to get out, and that he had better never see me in Oregon again. After he pulled away, I began to feel so insulted that I crossed an overpass and started hitching back North. Man, did I ever have a great time!

Long live the Rainbow Families!

3. Great news

Should of never been illegal in the first place. Throwing people in prison for smoking a leaf is retarded!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. "of" ? BTW, we would hope you know that throwing "retarded" is seen as a bigotted thing here. nt

[Matthew28]

35. It is

Throwing people in prison for smoking a plant is really that stupid.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. You don't understand. Using "retarded" disrespects all mentally challenged people. nt

4. Their private prison industry must be in tears.

Oh wait, they don't have any. They tried it with two, but both have since been taken back over by their government.

No wonder they can legalize pot!

8. There are still a bunch of regressives in law enforcement who aren't happy about this. The RCMP has

been harassing dispensaries even after the Liberals took control of Parliament with legalization as a central part of their platform.

6. I know where I'm vacationing next year!
