What are those pros and cons? Honest Marijuana has compiled the most common legalization of cannabis pros and cons here in one place for your edification.

The Pros Of Marijuana Legalization

1) Dismantling Of The Black Market

Chances are he knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who was a drug dealer or involved in organized crime (i.e., the mafia or mob). Some of those drug dealers and mafioso even had ties to terrorist organizations in other countries.

The legalization of marijuana either put them out of business or made them go legit. Now, the black market is almost completely gone . dispensaries are registered with the state. They are regulated . They are taxed . And that's good news for everyone involved...except the bad guys, of course.

2) Improved Quality & Safety Control

As the recent fentanyl-laced-heroin problem brought to light, there is really no way for end users to know exactly what they're getting when they purchase marijuana off the street. Legalizing marijuana , on the other hand, immediately creates a set of standards for quality and safety control.

3) Increased Tax Revenue

And the tax revenue collected off those sales was equally as staggering-$135 million. That money can be used to fix roads, fund public projects, improve schools, hire more police and firefighters...the list goes on and on.

4) Availability Of Medicinal Cannabis

5) Decrease In Gang-Related Drug Violence

Gang-related drug violence is still a very real part of life in many urban areas around the country. But the legalization of recreational marijuana would remove one of those sources of dispute.

6) Allows Police & Courts To Focus On More Violent Crimes

Legalization of medical and recreational marijuana would do two very important things:

Provide the police and the courts with more money (through tax revenue)

Give them more time to focus on more violent crimes

Better funding means more individuals to handle the load. And more time means more attention paid to preventing violent crimes. Too often, both the police and the court system are overwhelmed with handling individuals brought in for simply possessing marijuana.

The Cons Of Marijuana Legalization

1) Marijuana Is Addictive

Scientists are still divided on the subject of addiction. Some claim cannabis is not as addictive as harder drugs like crack and meth. Others claim that one in ten marijuana users develop dependence over time .

They point to the fact that stopping marijuana cold turkey will lead to withdrawal symptoms like irritability and anxiety. The same, however, could be said of cigarette smoking (which is legal). More research will need to be done to determine if marijuana is truly as addictive as the opponents of cannabis legalization claim.

2) Second-Hand Smoke Could Become A Problem

We're all familiar with the debate involving the negative health effects of second-hand smoke from cigarettes. The same debate swirls around cannabis smoke.

Could second-hand smoke from marijuana cause non-smokers to have lung problems? Can they accumulate THC in their bloodstream? Will they experience a contact high? These questions are still being studied to determine the efficacy of the opponents' claims.

3) Decreased Mental Health

Opponents of legalized recreational marijuana like to point to studies that show that marijuana smokers suffer from everything from restricted blood flow to the brain, to memory loss, to the increased likelihood of schizophrenia and depression.

But science is still not completely certain about these assertions. The schizophrenia and depression issue is particularly cloudy because researchers don't know if the drug itself triggers the problem or if cannabis users use the drug to with the symptoms.

4) Marijuana Users' Lungs Are At Risk

This deeper, longer exposure to carcinogens can increase the likelihood of lung cancer. The theory, though, does not touch on the different frequencies with which cigarette and marijuana smokers partake. Nor does it take into account the alternate methods of administration like vaporizing , , and .

5) Marijuana Alters Your Perception

Like alcohol, marijuana alters your perception. And like alcohol, this altered perception could lead to problems of impaired driving. Driving under the influence of marijuana could compound the already major problem of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

So as more and more states legalize marijuana in one form or another, the question on everyone's mind has changed from, "Is marijuana legal in my state?" to, "What kind of trouble can I get in if I drive while high?"

In every state, driving under the influence of marijuana is classified the same as driving under the influence of alcohol. It doesn't matter if the pot you smoked, or dabbed, or consumed in edibles is recreational or medicinal.

If it impairs your ability to drive, it is illegal for you to be driving, even if the cannabis is prescribed by a doctor or legally acquired.

States use various terms to refer to driving while intoxicated (be it from alcohol, marijuana, or even prescription medication) including, but not limited to:

Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI)

Driving While Ability Impaired Drugs

Driving While Ability Impaired Combined Influence

Driving Under [The] Influence (DUI)

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)

These classifications often refer to the escalating seriousness of the infraction. For example, in Colorado, DWAI is driving after consuming a substance that affects you to the slightest degree so that you are less able to operate a vehicle (either mentally and physically) when compared with ordinary, unimpaired, operation.

DUI, on the other hand, is driving after consuming a substance that affects you to a degree that you are substantially incapable of operating a vehicle safely. In this case, DUI is more serious than DWAI and carries a stiffer penalty.

Penalties for driving under the influence (regardless of the substance consumed) vary from state to state and are subject to the judge's discretion, but usually involve some combination of:

The real kicker comes if you are charged in a state where marijuana is still illegal. Not only will you be charged with the DUI, DWI, or DWAI, but you will also be charged with possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance (a felony).

Penalties for possession are much more serious. For example, in Kentucky, first-time offenders can receive 2-10 years in prison and a fine of up to $20,000.

An important factor to keep in mind regarding DUI and marijuana is that, right now, there is no scientific field test to determine whether a driver is high-there is no breathalyzer for marijuana.

All the tests are a combination of subjective behavioral analysis (recite your ABCs, determine the number of quarters in $1.75) and physical requirements (balance on one foot for 15 seconds, close your eyes and touch your pointer finger to your nose).

The only numerical measure of impairment requires a blood test (states have arbitrarily set 5 nanograms as the cutoff for blood THC levels). And even that is not an accurate measure of impairment for all individuals. Some people can be severely impaired well below that number, while others show no signs whatsoever at much higher levels.

6) Marijuana Is A Gateway Drug

Marijuana has long been considered a gateway drug. It is thought that once a person tries marijuana, he is more susceptible to trying harder, more dangerous drugs. Specialists like to point to research that suggests that using marijuana might be linked to more serious illegal substances like heroin and prescription painkillers.

Legalizing marijuana would increase the number of individuals who try marijuana and then, eventually , move onto harder drugs. This could put more financial pressure on the medical system and the public coffers to provide treatment for these individuals when they have serious problems.

Legalization Of Cannabis Pros And Cons Continue To Grow

As more and more states move to legalize recreational and medical marijuana, the list of pros and cons grows as well. So regardless of where you stand on the issue, it's good to know what the other side thinks.

At Honest Marijuana, we're all for the complete legalization of marijuana at both the state and federal level. But we don't hold it against you if you feel differently. That's your right, and it's what makes this country truly great - we can all have a different opinion.

Next time you're in our neck of the woods, stop by. We'll smoke a doobie and discuss the legalization of cannabis pros and cons in more detail.

Recreational marijuana is legal as of Oct,17,2018, but the vision of what a pot-permissive Canada looks like remains somewhat hazy. Therefore, I choose this article to explain some basic information of  cannabis legalization in Canada, such as, how will people buy pot? Can people grow marijuana at home? How does legalization work at the border? What can I take on a plane?What are the health effects of using cannabis? etc. This article lists those kinds of information that people need to know.

Recreational marijuana is legal as of today, but the vision of what a pot-permissive Canada looks like remains somewhat hazy.

There's still a lot we don't know, including what will happen to the illicit dispensaries that popped up in cities across the country in recent years. But here's a look at what we do know as Canadian consumers buy legal cannabis for the first time.

How will people buy pot?

How people purchase legal cannabis depends on where they live.

There is one constant across the country: Online sales are available in all provinces and territories, whether via private retailers or through government-run websites. E-commerce giant Shopify, which will manage online sales for four provinces, is confident its system will be able to handle the volume.

But there are distinctions across the county with respect to age limits and retail models. Minimum age limits for purchasing and consuming cannabis vary, but most provinces mirror their rules for alcohol.

Can I grow marijuana at home?

In most provinces and all territories, adults are allowed to possess four marijuana plants per household for recreational use. That's the limit the federal government imposed when it passed the Cannabis Act in June.

Quebec and Manitoba are the two holdouts. Both fiercely opposed that decision and enacted their own rules banning growing cannabis plants at home - a move some lawyers argue could eventually result in a constitutional challenge.

How much will it cost?

Much of the success of Canada's decision to legalize marijuana will be pegged to the price Canadians end up paying per gram of legal weed. Should legal cannabis turn out to be more expensive than pot on the black market, there may be little incentive for Canadians to quit buying from their current source.

A recent McMaster University study suggested that the sweet spot for consumers - the price where they'd buy legal weed instead of turning to the black market - was $10 to $12 a gram.

Prices could change, but for now, it looks like retail prices in New Brunswick will range from $8-$16 per gram; between $8.21-$14.55 per gram in the Northwest Territories; between $6-$13 in Newfoundland and Labrador; and prices will start at $8 per gram in Yukon.

Ontario's new PC government has been quiet on prices, but said it aims to set them at a rate that would be competitive with illicit dispensaries.

In Quebec, a spokesperson for SQDC, the provincial crown corporation responsible for cannabis sales, told CBC News it has yet to announce detailed pricing, adding that a lot of items would retail starting at $7 per gram.

Could there be a weed shortage?

According to Health Canada, there are currently more than 120 licensed cannabis producers in the country - with many based in Ontario and B.C.

Several companies rapidly expanded ahead of legalization, but one of Canada's top cannabis producers recently said labour shortages and supply chain issues may cause "sold out" signs to pop up at pot stores soon after it becomes legal.

"I'm concerned about the supply side," business consultant Sarah Stockdale said of pot e-commerce. "The tech that the government has is set up to handle the load on the servers, but are Canadians going to be waiting a really long time to receive their shipments when they're used to Amazon? If they have to wait one to two weeks will they turn to the black market?"

How does legalization work at the border?

Despite some changes at the state level, pot possession is still illegal under U.S. federal law. Ahead of legalization, Ottawa warned Canadian travellers that "previous use of cannabis, or any substance prohibited by U.S. federal laws, could mean that you are denied entry to the U.S."

One day ahead of legalization, a U.S. border official noted that nothing had changed in that regard, saying: "If you've been the subject of a violation of U.S. laws, that will still make you inadmissible to our country."

What's remains unclear is whether travellers will be questioned more frequently about past cannabis use.

There's also going to be some changes for people coming into Canada, CBC's J.P. Tasker reported. An official speaking on background told CBC News that Canada Border Services Agency guards will have to ask every traveller about pot possession. Travellers arriving by air should expect to see a question about cannabis use on declaration forms.

What can I take on a plane?

People flying within Canada will be able to pack up to 30 grams of cannabis. But travellers should remember they still can't bring weed aboard international flights.
Check out this primer on age restrictions and travelling with pot:
How could this affect my job?

It depends on your field and your employer. Ahead of legalization, many Canadian companies updated cannabis policies - especially companies where employees work in high-risk positions.

Both Air Canada and WestJet have prohibited recreational cannabis use for pilots and those in "safety-sensitive positions." Rules for police officers vary widely across the country: Calgary's police service forbids cannabis consumption outright, while Vancouver's requires officers to self-evaluate whether they are fit for duty.

Experts say policies will likely evolve in the months following legalization.
How ready are employers for legal weed?
What are the rules around driving?

Under new legislation passed in June, police can conduct roadside saliva tests of drivers they suspect to be under the influence of drugs. How drivers will be treated depends on how much THC, the primary psychoactive substance in pot, is found in their blood.

Drivers with between two and five nanograms in their blood could face a fine of up to $1,000.

Drivers with either more than five nanograms, or who were drinking alcohol and consuming cannabis at the same time, could face steeper fines and jail time.

People convicted in the most serious cases could face 10 years in prison.

In August, Statistics Canada reported nearly five per cent of Canadians - about 1.4 million people - said they had been a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone who had consumed cannabis within two hours of driving.
The new rules around impaired driving are expected to face legal challenges.
What are the health effects of using cannabis?

Expect more research around cannabis and health - both in terms of health benefits and potential risks - in the years ahead. For now, campaigns are underway to try and educate people about cannabis and health, particularly groups deemed at risk of dangers linked to cannabis consumption, including pregnant women and children.

The federal government has a website outlining the health effects of cannabis use, including both short-term effects (like impairing your ability to drive) and longer-term effects (including potential lung damage). CBC Radio's White Coat, Black Art took a deep dive into issue and asked medical experts to answer your questions about pot.

The outreach effort won't stop once pot is legal: Health Canada alone is slated to spend more than $100 million over six years on awareness, public education and surveillance, The Canadian Press reported in September.

This article shares how much cannabis was sold province-by-province on legalization day. Firstly, cannabis was “flying off the shelves” in retail outlets and online stores across the country as soon as the clock struck midnight Wednesday. Then,nearly 10,000 cannabis sales were made in British Columbia on Wednesday;the Alberta province recorded around 8,300 sales; Quebec province was 42,000 cannabis orders processed on the first day of legalization, with 12,500 in-store transactions and 30,000 online orders and Nova Scotia province made 12,180 cannabis transactions on the first day of legalization and so on. A fly in the ointment is that the writer missed the largest province in Canada--Ontario.

The video I shared was made by

Koi Fresco, the purpose of this video is not to say smoke weed is bad or that you should smoke weed, it just simple explain what happen when he chose to stop the weed. Koi started smoking weed when he was 14-15 years old. At that moment he did it he absolutely love it,for it made him feel very happy, chill and relax. His goal at that time just get high and nothing else. As time went on, he got the trouble with the law, ended up getting a DUI .Before going to the jail, he has a year to finish high school and apply for the college course, he try to stop weed, it is not easy at first, and he try to do something else to fill the time instead of smoking and doing nothing. Then his life is slowly change, he can focus on study, read , enjoy the life etc. However, when he was smoking weed, he did not really want to do these stuff. Finally, he realized and his life changed. Overall, I like more young people to see his stories.

Recreational Cannabis Sales Could Start in a Few Weeks

Canada Becomes FIrst G7 Country to Legalize Recreational Marijuana
Canada is well on its way to becoming the first G7 nation in the world to end marijuana prohibition.

The House of Commons and Senate just approved the Cannabis Act, fulfilling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's 2015 campaign promise. Legal adult-use sales is set to start before summer ends. On Tuesday night, the Senate voted 52-29 to approve the bill, reports CNBC. Senate debates continued in the afternoon, as Senator Peter Harder encouraged his colleagues to approve the bill without any changes.

"If we concur with the House of Commons, I think we will find most Canadians pleased with the manner in which we've discharged our constitutional role," Harder told the Senate, as reported by CTV News.

"We've just witnessed a historic vote for Canada. The end of 90 years of prohibition," said Sen. Tony Dean, one of the sponsors of the Cannabis Act. "Transformative social policy, I think. A brave move on the part of the government."

Last spring, the Canadian government released an official statement saying that, "The current approach to cannabis does not work." The government also added that keeping cannabis illegal "has allowed criminals and organized crime to profit, while failing to keep cannabis out of the hands of the Canadian youth."

"In many cases, it is easier for our kids to buy cannabis than cigarettes," it added.

Based on the law, anyone over 18 would be able to legally possess less than 30 grams of cannabis. It would also allow Canadian adults to grow as much as 4 cannabis plants at home. The authors of the bill discussed the benefits of legalization, which included: restricted access would protect the health of young people, weaken illegal and criminal activity, and decreasing the work and pressure placed on the criminal justice system. Additionally, legalization would also make room for quality control as well as public health awareness campaigns.

However, the bill's critics believe that cannabis should be kept illegal because they don't believe in the capacity of the government to eliminate black market activity enough. Conservative Sen. Percy Mockler stated that "the initiative suffers from a serious absence of policy analysis."

But others think that the Senate did well on the process. "Now we can start to tackle some of the harms of cannabis. We can be proactive in public education. We'll see the end of criminalization and we can start addressing Canada's $7 billion illegal market. These are good things for Canada," said Sen. Dean.

Although the government originally planned for the bill to be passed in time for retail sales to start on July 1, delays were expected after Senate requested for more time to assess the bill. But now that the bill has been passed, all that's left is for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the cabinet to decide on the exact date of when recreational cannabis becomes legal.

"Passing this bill will mean the end of a historic era of prohibition that has punished Canadians with a criminal sanction for what is essentially a health decision. Over the years, how many Canadians have needlessly been given the social stigma and employment barrier of a criminal conviction," Sen. Harder said during the debate.

The government also released the results of a survey that asked over 9,000 people throughout Canada, aged 16 and up, about their attitudes towards cannabis. It revealed, "About half of all respondents indicated that cannabis had a positive effect on a person's mood (51 percent), creativity (45 percent), anxiety (50 percent), and sleep (49 percent)," reported the Health Ministry.

What This Means For The USA

While medical cannabis has been legal up in the Great White North, recreational cannabis use would give the United States a run for their money in an increasingly lucrative industry. The Canadian market for legal pot is forecasted to rake in around$4.5 billion, a figure calculated using consumption data over the last few years. Taxes, on the other hand, are expected to inject $300 million to the government's revenues.

In the USA, 9 states have legalized adult use cannabis with 29 states allowing it for medicinal use. However, there is a risk that Canadian cannabis may leak into the United States, which may cause tensions with one of closest allies. If Canada is successful in establishing an effective legalization framework, it may provide a good model for other countries who are interested in ending prohibition - including the United States.

This picture I choose is from the center for addiction and mental health (CAMH).It shows Canada has one of the highest rates of cannabis use in the world, With 40 per cent of Canadians having used it at least once in their lifetime.10% of Canadians have used cannabis in the past year. Although possessing pot is illegal last year, a significant proportion of Canadians still use the herb. In actually, 20% of Canadian aged 15-24 years used cannabis in the past year, and 70% of Canadian cannabis is the age of 25 or older. It is not difficult to see the rate of cannabis is increasing, and more    people are become habitual.

With marijuana legalized in Canada, it will also bring substantial taxes to Canada. From globe news the federal government budget reaffirmed plans to apply an excise duty on marijuana, but confirmed that not all marijuana products will be affected. Through reading the globe news, I learned that on  the one hand the government can invest the tax to the public education, health and drug services, and all these will promote social development. On the another hand, if the level of taxation higher than the black market price and that may encourage and basically keep the industry below ground. Therefore, the federal government should to weigh the pros ad con of it
