I wonder what will happen in Canada once October 17th, the legalization date comes.
- adventured 8y agoThe majority of drug offenses (~55,000 of ~95,000) in Canada for 2016 were cannabis related. There must be hundreds of thousands of people living in Canada with criminal records due to marijuana prohibition. One would expect they'd wipe all of the records clean, recent or distant past.
- GuB-42 8y agoMaking something legal now doesn't mean you didn't commit a crime before. They may wipe records clean but there is no guarantee. And I suppose most of the records are not just the result of simple consumption. It probably involved trafficking or maybe DUI, which will continue being illegal.
- frockington 8y agoI'm hoping more Canadians become stoners and push wages up for people with clean urine
- mitjak 8y agohow exactly would having more stoners up the wages?
- justtopost 8y agoSmaller hiring pool leading to higher wages for the sober drones is the implied hypothesis here if I am reading it right.
