Bush tries to force Canada to keep pot smokers in jail - GoFuckYourself.com

U.S., Canada clash on pot laws

The Bush administration is hinting that it could make it more difficult for Canadian goods to get into this country if Canada's Parliament moves ahead with a proposal to drop criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana.

The proposal, part of an effort to overhaul Canada's anti-drug policies, essentially would treat most marijuana smokers there the same as people who get misdemeanor traffic tickets. Violators would be ticketed and would have to pay a small fine, but they no longer would face jail time.

Canada's plan isn't that unusual: 12 U.S. states and most of the 15 nations in the European Union have eased penalties on first-time offenders in recent years. That's a reflection of how many governments have grown weary of pursuing individual marijuana users.

But U.S. officials, while stressing that they aren't trying to interfere in Canada's affairs, are urging Canadians to resist decriminalizing marijuana.

More stupidity from the White House. Considering that Bush was supposedly a longtime coke head who never went to jail because his daddy was rich and powerful, this is even more hypocritical.

up in Canada trying to tell them how how to treat there people. Bush better get rid of all those bible thumpers he's appointed.
This Govt. has wasted billions if not trillions of dollars on pot
interdiction. Now they will be going after the porn people (not saying the kiddie porn people they should be locked up). Just watch that Bible thumping John Ass hahahahaha. Don't think I'll be voting Republican next election. God I hate to say that.
FUCK FUCK FUCK I hate to say that.

Mr.Fiction don't get me wrong, because I god dam sure don't think like you do.

Make sure you vote for him again in 04 neoPatriots.

any country that strives to be like france has some problems

05-08-2003, 06:23 PM

The sad part is that I heard his approval is at 70% or something (at least according to the media), and by the looks of the list of other possible candidates so far, he is the clear choice to win again next year.

Who else is there that will even come close? Leiberman? Will they elect a Jew who's big claim to fame is that he has the balls to take on Hollywood?

Almost as bad as what we get to choose from here in Canada. (OK, maybe not as bad.)

don't forget that there is another bush who will eventually run for president. he's probably 3x worst than this

ChrisH · 05-08-2003, 07:28 PM

Mr.Fiction,
It's none of Bush's, or the US's business how Canada wants to deal with pot laws. It's not like you'r trying to legalize murder.

Give'em a big

That's what they said when Bush 41 had a 91% rating after the first gulf war.

Things change. I hope ;)

I have a feelin his approval will dwindle after this war stuff settles.. He sucks rocks with domestic policy and that will be seen long before election time..

05-08-2003, 07:40 PM

I'm sure his approval rating will fall, but who is the next alternative?

How many people will actually vote for Leiberman? Who else is there? Most of the other candidates I've seen aren't even in the running, like Al Sharpton.

cool1 · 05-08-2003, 07:54 PM

I don't get why Bush would be against Canada decriminalizing weed, since the US does it.

Since 1973, 12 state legislatures -- Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Oregon -- have enacted versions of marijuana decriminalization. In each of these states, marijuana users no longer face jail time (nor in most cases, arrest or criminal records) for the possession or use of small amounts of marijuana

haha, look at this, for mississippi, look what difference .1 grams can have:

30 g or less (first offense) misdemeanor none $100 - $250
30 to 250 g felony 3 years $3,000
