First, yours truly is not for, or against the legalization of Cannabis. Quite simply, one just does not know enough about the subject to proffer an unsolicited opinion.
However, judging from the excitement generated by the media the interest is extraordinary. After all, The Toronto Maple Leafs are floundering and the price of gasoline is rising, but that's only par for the course. - Pot is the real stuff that wake up sleepy consumers of news and gossip from the periodic coma they endure.
The Ontario government now has administrative officials from about a dozen departments developing the province’s marijuana strategy, examining health, road safety, youth and justice issues as well as the fiscal implications.
And why would they not be excited over this seemingly manna from heaven for rendering money to spend no doubt for the benefit of the common people? Or something like that.
It is an industry that an official report estimates could be worth $22.6 billion annually, eclipsing the combined sales of beer, wine, and spirits.
So far so good. Everything is honkey - dorey. And of course we all hope that looking back from the distance of a decade or two, the prognosis will justify the legal introduction of pot.
After all, according to Cannabis enthusiasts, this is the
wonder drug of the future that will cure many of our
problems. - Big Pharma watch out! Just in case I will keep
my aspirins.
