OH, CANADA! GOD LIGHTS HIS BUD ON THEE!

In a miracle of all miracles, the Canadian government has decided to legalize marijuana for recreational use. This mean you can…*gasp*….buy and consume cannabis! And while the 14 people who still think prohibition is a good thing are cringing and finding a nuclear bunker to hide out in, most of the rest of us are excited for the change this brings. Canada, our silly neighbors to the north, have done one of the bravest things a country can do. Instead of being bullied and pressured into defining their drug laws like the US, they have decided to do the right thing and decide for themselves.

America is watching. So many states have reconsidered prohibition and decided that at the very least, a medical marijuana program is necessary. Our massive prison population here in the States indicates a remarkable lack of freedom for the Land of the Free. Most experts agree that the only reason prohibition has been able to last this long is because our science education is also quite terrible.

If the phrase “Make America Great Again” were to mean anything substantial, perhaps it will be a harkening back to a time when substances were not made to be illegal, when our prisons weren’t so full up, and when we didn’t systematically tear parents away from their children in the name of drug law enforcement.

God is smiling down on Oh, Canada! He lights his bud in a burst of confidence in the human race. This is the beginning of the dominoes that are bound to fall. The destiny of marijuana prohibition is the same as that of alcohol prohibition. I’m sure the Federal Government will get around to taking action in the name of justice…right after they’re done calling each other names and splitting the country in two!

Please remember to VOTE in November. Enough is enough, and it’s been enough for the last 40 years.
