Abolishing the death penalty did nothing but cause more deaths. Stopping cigarette smoking in public helped - but now you want to add the putrid smell of marijuana to our air? We do not need drugs, recreational or any other substance. Would the candidates who think this would be alright be willing to add another hole to their head and not be airheads, so their wasted thinking could be more resourceful and contribute more to a healthier attitude? Decriminalizing drugs should not be allowed in Canada, nor should substance abuse. Legalization will not control our children in using drugs or any other substance. We need to prohibit the use and be accountable for that so our children can be raised in a drug-free community. That should be a target for our children and grandchildren and a priority for all candidates to make Canada greater. Carmen Papetti, Niagara Falls - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
