Expert Advice When You Need It Most

There was a brief time years ago when sanity prevailed in Canada and the consumption of marijuana was de-criminalized. The same was once true in the great state of Alaska. However, both northerly neighbors have re-criminalized pot consumption, even though dozens of scientific studies and the ABA have come out in favor of legalization.

I was once on a panel of experts regarding marijuana laws at Western Washington University. On with me was an RCMP constable from Vancouver who explained that under local law, the enforcement of marijuana laws is regarded as a low priority. He said that unless the person is overtly distributing the substance, police will confiscate, but not arrest people using or possessing marijuana. The City of Seattle has a similar ordinance.

No, it's not true. You can get arrested for smoking a joint in Vancouver, Canada. Our freinds in the Great White North are great but don't do it!!.
