Why is marijuana legal in Canada?

Answer 1

Marijuana is not legal in Canada, it is only tolerated if you carry a small amount (less than 3 grams) for personnal use in certain provinces. That being said, the authorities are a lot more relaxed in Canada than in the states about the whole smoking marijuana thing. There is not a crazy war on drugs going on by the governement, they still go out there and catch the producers, growers and sellers, but they are chill if they see you smoke on the street. Most times they'll just tell you to throw it out. There are a lot of policemen who also smoke marijuana when they're off-duty, things are not as controlled with drug tests than in the US.
