"
Trudeau plans to legalize pot. Have you had that talk with the kids?
Of course. I tell them that drinking to excess is not good; getting high is not good. I encourage them to think about what they want to do with their lives and recognize that drinking and marijuana are counterproductive to those goals.

So why legalize it?
I don’t want kids buying it from criminals, which is how the current system works.

Marijuana

The Liberals campaigned on the legalization of marijuana and its possible role as a cash-cow for the federal government, much like alcohol or cigarettes. The drug is not factored into any fiscal projection in the budget document, however.
