Decriminalization would have hit hard at the families of both pot growers and RCMP drug enforcement officers - particularly in this province. That's unacceptable, and Stephen Harper, bless him, knew it.
Won't somebody please think of the pot growers and drug cops?
Now, if the government really wanted to cut down on pot use, it seems logical for it to attack one or both of those two branches. First, disrupt the market. This has actually been done by the crackdown at the border. B.C. People can grow kickass weed, but they can't smoke all of it themselves. They need help from the U.S. With the market flooded, local pot growers are seeing less bang for their hazardous buck.
The idea that the border between the US and Canada is secure is indeed laughable. Ron Paul is running a campaign based on his fear of Mexicans. I wonder if he will promise to secure the Canada/US border once he cleans up the Mexican border.
The real reason that the price of weed is going down in Canada has nothing to do with enforcement. The worthless US currency is the reason for the falling price of domestic marijuana.
There would be nothing good about an increase in the price of marijuana. It just means that organized crime will make more money and mom and pop marijuana grows will become more risky. If they seriously want to harm organized crime, small marijuana grows should be legal. When people like myself are allowed to have beautiful, backyard gardens, organized crime will no longer make money selling an easily grown weed. It's too simple.
