This petition is about gathering signatures of Canadian citizens who feel that the oppressive Marijuana laws in Canada are more damaging to our society than the drug can ever do. Marijuana is a surprisingly safe drug with little side effects and no related deaths contributed to it. Alchol and tobacco are far worse on society than Marijuana ever could be, and by keeping it illegal all the government is doing in giving money they could be making to drug cartels and gangs. Marijuana is currently the biggest cash crop many organized crime syndicates have going for them and the legalization of Marijuana will cut off that flow of cash and divert it into public projects that better the Canadian public instead of putting non violent individuals in jail for something that should have never been outlawed in the first place.
