VICTORIA, B.C.—The idea of legalizing and regulating cannabis was pretty radical until about two years ago. To say that it was counter-intuitive is almost an understatement. How on earth is legalization any way to make our streets safer? It just did not make any sense to many people, especially politicians. Thankfully, with repeated logic, facts and evidence, the majority of Canadians now understand that the legalization and regulation of cannabis is the right thing to do, and those same politicians who were once opposed are now in favour of the regulatory approach.
