The debate in Canada over legalizing marijuana has been discussed regularly over the past few decades. The Canadian judicial system is completely strapped for cash. With the courts are backlogged and police forces barely functioning, it is time for the Canadian government to put its priorities in order.

There are many benefits to legalizing marijuana. It will lower the cost to the justice system, because courts and police forces will no longer have to pursue minor charges against non-violent offenders.



Legalizing it would also give authorities more control, allowing them would be able to regulate it just like tobacco or alcohol. It would also increase safety for users, essentially negating the chances of exposure to other, more harmful drugs.

With over 50% of Canadians wanting to legalize this drug, it is time to do so. The benefits clearly outweigh the negatives. Tell the Canadian government that it is now time to legalize marijuana.
