Canada To Legalize Pot
ROB FORD CAN'T STOP DANCING
Chilly American neighbor Canada announced today that it plans to legalize weed by this time next year. Canada's Liberal government will introduce a law in spring 2017 to legalize recreational marijuana, it said on Wednesday, fulfilling an election pledge and following several U.S. states in permitting easy access to the drug.
Health Minister Jane Philpott, speaking at a special session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, said the Canadian law will ensure marijuana is kept away from children and keep criminals from profiting from its sale.
"We will work with law enforcement partners to encourage appropriate and proportionate criminal justice measures. We know it is impossible to arrest our way out of this problem."

There a proper way and the wrong way, stay away from people who sell pot that don't use gloves, they will poison you, becasue their hands are loaded with a lot of germs, because of the money they handled, and who knows where these bills were, maybe up someone ass. period
I'm sure someone will appreciate the advice. That is pretty funny and slightly frightening. Germs are everywhere..

MEXICO CITY — With a swipe of his pen this week, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto proposed that Mexican citizens could legally possess up to an ounce of pot. The day before, Canada’s health minister stood at a United Nations podium and announced that her country would introduce new federal legislation to make cannabis legal by next year.
