About the new question: I do support the legalization of pot. The fact that it's illegal causes a lot of people to end up with criminal records (>50% of teens have tried it at some point, but they turn out OK when they grow up). And, from everything that I've read, it's no more harmful than cigarettes and alcohol, both of which are legal. Besides, it's a great painkiller; some people find it better than morphine, and it's not nearly as addictive as the latter. A lot of cops in Canada don't even bother to charge people who have marijuana, because it clogs up the legal system.

Apparently, a lot of Canadians agree, because Justin Trudeau campaigned on that during the 2015 election.
