I'm glad to see that Canadian's are smoking more pot than ever and there seems to be many people changing their minds about marijuana due to the report stats. Marc, you are the one to be proud the most, because of all the activism you have done and getting the word out about the FREEDOM TO SMOKE MARIJUANA! Vote Prince of Pot for Global Dominator!

Good advice! Nice show. Beautiful scenery and the ads were pretty wild!
The National Post has a remarkable editorial today in support of total legalisation. Have they always held that position? Are not they poltically Conservative, or NEO-Consewrvative, in fact? Strange things are going on, especially in the media.
I've noticed too, more and more of the WEB is turning to a "nickel and dime" system of "pay per view" B.S., commericialization of the open-source power of the Internet, governments attempting to censored it and force state regulation through registered servers etc., and utlimately an INFORMATION-CONTROLLED medium, forced into a system like in China!
Is that what Canadians want, a social and economic system run like totalitarian CHINA?
Looks like the parliamentary battle lines are politically being drawn out over Drug Policy Reform issues. At least Canada is taking some political initiatives.
I think though the cause,PROHIBITION, are somewhat beind swept under the rug. The legal system is surely the chief area in need of a lot of reform, especially over the punishment system and unjust criminality mostly sponsored by police and DEA, WOD crapology.
Where does the reform of the unjust legal system and the bullshit courts and the violent, keystone cops, "bust down your door", Grow-Busters, fit into all this lovely, centrist, "made to look like moderates", of the "politically-correct positioned and socially engineering" of the Liberal's marketing plans as "sheep in blue uniforms" go? And what of the key WOD bullshit of prohibiting and criminalising, through BAD UNJUST LAWS, through the harsh, penalty-driven, draconian interdiction ideology that continues, as I type this out, that continues to violently attack any free and open markets, not to mentione the horrendously unjust persecutions of MEDICAL NEEDS and the issue of basiic, human rights of Candadians and anyone, in fact, to freely choose the medicine and medical care one decides, not driven by a STATE Dictatorship and fraudulant, corrupt, public Insurance System, such as Canada's broken Medicare System? LEGAL GROWING and LEGAL DEALING is what is needed.
Police continues to finance immoral NARK GAMES, in bed surely with their DEA counterparts too. The majority of Canadians REJECT American WOD. It is definitely narco-imperialism, and quite frankly, destructive to society and has harmed us in countless ways. And the COPS are the ones behind most of it! It's INSANE!
I wonder if Harper's "neo-con alliance", and police-fascist buddies will do a political flip-flop on drug policy issues in Parliament?
The advantage of the Liberal's, in Parliament, is that they can always lean either Right or Left of the Ideological Spectrum, maintaining a perceived, balanaced and moderate position as necessary, to sway public opinion.
I don't trust 'em and wonder what they are cooking up. I suppose I'm cynical to the max. Their record is pretty abysmal when it comes to their promises to reform cannabis laws.
Well, I hope for the best, which is the Tree of Life!
Optimists fly on rockets fueled on sensi bud,

Yesterday, Prime Minister Paul Martin brought up a long dormant issue that many observers thought he had abandoned.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Paul Martin brought up a long dormant issue that many observers thought he had abandoned.
Last year, a proposal that would have reduced the punishment for possession of small amounts of pot to a small fine withered on the Parliamentary to-do list. And when Mr. Martin remained mute on the subject throughout the election campaign, we worried the window of opportunity for pot reform had closed. Fortunately, we were wrong: Mr. Martin has now pledged to move forward on marijuana decriminalization.
This is good news for everyone who cares about personal freedom and the proper allocation of Canada's scarce police resources. As we have written in this space many times, it makes little sense to criminalize otherwise law-abiding Canadians simply because they indulge in a substance that is less dangerous or addictive than either alcohol or tobacco. The idea that smoking marijuana should be the subject of societal opprobrium has become a joke: According to a new Statistics Canada study, more than 10 million Canadians -- 41% of the population aged 15 or older -- has toked up at one time or another.
But the legislation on the table is only a first step. While we are pleased that the Prime Minister will move ahead with decriminalization, the new law will not change the fact that marijuana will still be illegal. That means many users of the drug will still have to skulk around street corners to get their product, the profits of the trade will still flow to outlaw gangs and rivalries among producers will still be settled with criminal violence.
Ultimately, Canada must move to full legalization of marijuana. The government could then regulate the drug as it does liquor and tobacco. Ottawa could tax the drug as well. And the attendant revenue would not be insignificant: According to a Fraser Institute report released last month, the marijuana industry in British Columbia alone could deposit at least $2-billion into government coffers.
With his decision to proceed with marijuana decriminalization, Mr. Martin is taking an admirable and long-awaited first step to modernize our nation's policy on illicit drugs. We hope more reforms will follow.

His usual inspirational message, thouogh the timing may be more important now. Too bad his face is lit so red, it almost dissappears into the background. I think Pot TV should find a particular background that fits Marc's skin colour (changeable, in this weather) and put it behind him whenever he goes on Pot TV.Red and green don't work for him-maybe something in the realm of yellow or gold? A bright purple might work, though it would make him look older.
