Bullshit, the RCMP has been pretty active here in BC to close illegal "dispensaries". By all likelyhood, this won't stop after this bill, as I trust the liberals to have properly secured weed's distribution. "Depenalization" would have been 10x better than this "legalization".

Just because they are closing places that sell weed, doesn't mean it is illegal, just controlled. Alcohol is legal, but the Ontario government is still going to close down any store selling it without authorization.

I guess you are an easterner not minding to have the government step in their everyday lives.

This is a problem with weed as there is a pretty solid underground distribution network. If the price for legal weed stay lower than "legal" weed (because of the tax and all the administrative bs), then criminal orgs will keep making plenty of profit, rendering the bill essentially pointless. I don't want a fancy multi-million dollar weed tasting store, or ponder for hours if a 1985 indica is better with red meet than a 1992 sativa. I just want my ounce and be left in peace.

The liberals have grossly misunderstood the consumer population...
