Regarding the April 21 news article "Canada to introduce bill to allow marijuana sales":

The idea of people from the United States jumping the border to take a few legal puffs of pots seems dangerous to me. Wouldn't it be a safer solution for border states to legalize the drug to save potential partakers from driving in unfavorable conditions for anounce of herbal bliss? Couldn't we as a nation finda way to follow Canada's lead and regulate the substance like we do alcohol and cigarettes?

Wouldn't it save border patrol and law enforcement's time if Americans stayed put to get their product?
