Question, could you simply expand legislation for tobacco to include marijuana?

  I think that would be the most reasonable course of action in the short term. Getting smoke in your lungs carries all sorts of health risks, regardless of whether it's from tobacco, cannabis, or plain old wood in your fireplace. Joints should be labeled with grisly pictures of lung cancer just like cigarettes, and taxed to compensate for the burden on Canada's public health system. But smoking is only one way of consuming cannabis, and I don't think tobacco regulations are well suited to marijuana cookies, for example.

    > the burden on Canada's public health system There is none, at least with the tobacco - smokers simply don't live long enough to generate significant costs.

  More likely it will be alcohol legislation unfortunately...
