John Tory said Tuesday that he believes the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use should have been decriminalized “years ago,” but that Toronto police should continue to target illegal dispensaries across the city.

    meanwhile there is only one Legal Clinic open in Toronto, calm. which cannot be accessibly desirable for everyone who is legal in the city and it’s general area

    Dear Mayor Tory, Since the majority of the people in Canada support legalizing Marijuana, and you’re so overly worried about the illegal and unregulated sale of Marijuana, I’ve got a CRAZY proposition…

    HOW ABOUT WE LET DEMOCRACY WORK AND LEGALIZE IT ALREADY?

    Crazy notion, I know!

    Research indicates that dispensaries both lower crime in their neighbourhoods and lower opiate overdoses. (“Medical Cannabis Laws and Opioid Analgesic Overdose Mortality in the United States,” 1999-2010 – Journal of American Medical Association, and “Going to pot? The impact of dispensary closures on crime” – Journal of Urban Economics).
