From Canada where it's legal, available…and very expensive…comes a caution: don't legalize…decriminalize!

When it's legalized it becomes a money maker for the corporations more than the people; small businesses are crowded out; and the non-licensed market flourishes.

All over Canada the product is available for less than what the corporations/government are scamming. The packaging the corporations/government force all sellers in the legal market to use are incredibly bad for the environment but "special" friends of the gov have full control over the packaging and they're making a killing so who cares?

Just decriminalize it, release from prison every person jailed for simple possession regardless of amount and wipe their records clean. If people want it - they can get it, grow it, whatever and they pay for it. No need for corporate money-grabs over it, no need for government taxation/theft. It's a friggin' plant that has many uses and one of them is chosen by many people as their preferred choice over the poison of flavored ethanol for their self-medication and they should have the freedom to do so if they wish without having to pay anybody other than for what they need or want.
