Subsidize drug use? You're kidding. That gives children growing up an easy out. If the state legitimizes and subsidizes it, children/youth will think it's okay. They see it on the streets so it becomes normal. The last thing anyone needs is to see drug use normalized. During a tough time in a teen's life, they might know exactly where to go to find drug users to hang out with. I think Canadians have a 51st state complex, and try to do the opposite of what they think Americans would do to prove that they're a completely uniqie country. So they turn around and immitate Europeans instead, to prove that they're are more sophisticated than us back woods Americans. It is a position of haughty disdain for the lower 48. Europeans are no role models. Europe would cease to exist tomorrow if it were not for the protection of Americans that they so dispise. Do what's best for yourself. Normalizing drug use couldn't possibly be good.
