As Canada Legalizes Marijuana the US Tightens Border Controls

1. Legalize recreational use of weed in Canada? What a shame. That shit will get you locked up for a long time and even the death penalty in Asian countries.

2. I think Canada has earned the title land of the free

3. I think having a puff before bed is acceptable but I don't agree with smoking it before you start your day ..

4. We should build a wall and the U.S. can pay for it.
   No desire to go to your shithole.

5. thank you.

6. The reason I grow my own medicine is I know the idiot who grew it and he grows organically.

7. No MOre War

8. Why haven't we seen the effects the these so called strong pesticides on the populace?

9. Why would anyone I. Canada ever want to come to the United States anyway? This isn’t hurting anyone. Who cares? The real news is that Monsanto has its hands on marijuana now. That’s scary. Grow your own. Monsanto should be broken up or completely shut down.

10. If they want to ban me for life, hey man, go for it. I refuse to even take a flight with a stopover in the US.

11. Did you know all the robber of Iranian people money ( those u watch in fox about ) they run to Canada and with Billion of dollar making new life there

    2) that money sure is Big number for grow faster , but it is Dirty money on system , the right of people with out they promotion …. i believe karma answer the Canada in future maybe next generation , what if God exist ? We live once both will be death at the end but sure Canada paradise in earth today and going to hell after ^_+

12. “In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume… Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
    ― Francis Young -DEA Administrative Law Judge – 1988

    "Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”
    – Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)

    “Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana…We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”
    -Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)

    "Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."
    “The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”
    – William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author and commentator)

    "The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."
    – Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)

    “You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.” ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
    – Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)

    "Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."
    -Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)

    "Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I'll prove it to you. You're at a ball game or a concert, and someone's really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"
    “Why is pot against the law? It wouldn't be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can't make a profit off it, would it?”
    “…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit…unnatural?”
    -Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)

    – – And last, but certainly not least (my personal favorite) – –

    "If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."
    – Terence McKenna (American ethnobotanist, author, advocate for responsible use of natural psychedelic plants)

13. Note – the border police are searching cell phones for key words related to pot, and on that basis they charge you with possession of schedule one drug!

14. Its to help them get their heads around Canada's immigration policy

15. I have been to canada 4 times. My opinion of Canada is not very good and not just because of their pot usage.

16. I think peoples lungs do not want smoke in them, period! Some states here in the US have legalized marijuana and the accident rate on highways has increased in those states. I have seen many people driving while smoking with babies in the vehicle.

17. Notice the asian guy says sell something more addictive. Cigarettes are addictive, pot is addictive, alcohol is addictive and yet, alcohol is sold everywhere, even in grocery stores.

18. The people making these comments are all pot smokers of course. Anyone who takes drugs of any kind just to get drunk or high definitely has mental problems. I have witnessed those who smoke pot. Not pleasant. I have been around those who drink beer and after a while they slur their speech. I am not talking about falling over drunk. Harder drugs are worse than pot or beer of course. But still, anyone who smokes pot is not respecting his own body and it is the only one we have. Life is much better without drugs.

19. So, if I break into Canada and the US won't let me back in, my life will be ruined?

20. big tiume hypocritc ??

21. Good they can stay in their country and WE will stay in ours, WE have a country that is bountiful and your jealousy will know no bounds as we WILL prosper and we will conquer the DRUG world that has made us slaves of our society. Thank YOU, make America Great Again, as we will rock our world, when you smoke it releases some of that pent up energy and gives you the hopes and caring of what we had in the GOOD old days. So, Come On CANADA let us show them how it is done. God Thank You for making this become a reality to our world and may we conquer the Druglords of our society. WE are Liberals after all.

22. Not everybody is going to have your sense of humor, vise versa. But legalizing marijuana is not something I agree with, I do think it has some bad effects.

23. The u.s.tightening up borders, wow, the other version of reefer madness. hope there's a strong downwind to the lower 48!😁✌

24. Good! As a Canadian I LONG for the day that we drop America as our number one trading partner. We have to share their border, we don't have to share their toxic ideologies.

25. I started in this field about 60 years ago! (circa 1969) not 20 years ago! I remember at age 19, in a VW bus going up with some friends to Montreal from NY state. It was evening, turning to dark. At the border, we were commanded to proceed to secondary inspection. The boys and the girls in our group were separated. We were all musicians, probably looking like the hippies that we were (probable cause?), wearing paisley and smelling of patchouli.

    I was led into a room, required to strip and pull my cheeks apart as this lesbian officer searched my every orifice. After about 2 hours, with our clothes back on, and fully traumatized, we were finally allowed to proceed through the border check into Canada. They told us that they had found a couple seeds and some residue in our VW camper but that after testing they had insufficient sample remaining to proceed to charges and arrests. I was like, "What?! Are you F'ing kidding me?" Thank God after 60 years, that ridiculous BS is finally coming to an end! Now…can I get a framable typed apology from Justin Trudeau?? Yeah…right. Dream on. We can't even apologize to the citizens of Hiroshima.

26. Before weed becomes legal in Murica get the F out of Afghanistan… then OK

27. Not a Trumpster in sight on this video.

28. Legalize, release and expunge!!

29. Fear is the problem.

30. Just as they are on so many fronts the US is on the wrong side of history

31. read the title and thought, in which direction? to prevent americans from going to canada?

32. Precious… The U.S. of A, the globe's #1 Rogue-state, Terrorist-state and Terrorism-sponsor giving itself airs of morality… Poster-nation, for Retardation…

33. This is why everyone loves Canada but hates the United States.

34. Drugs to the north of us
    Drugs to the south
    Here we are
    Stuck in the middle with
    Big pharma

35. Dickish is a perfect word! The US of A isn't my country anymore (though I still have to live here sadly). I am no longer "PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN".

36. Vote the Neo Cons out. End of the story for the drug war.

37. Build a Wall of Hemp from Seattle to Lubec Maine. And make Canada pay for it.

38. Damn, I live in a fucked up country.

39. Trudeau the best

40. Oh, bad show! Looked like really positive news, but then you go off into scaremongering about pesticides on weed. Growers simply don't use the same level of poisons on weed as we routinely use on food crops, we're talking about over-the-counter gardening products, not industrial-strength chemicals.

    Meanwhile, washing fruit grown from poisoned soil doesn't take the poison out of the fruit. There's nothing going into weed that's worse than anything routinely sprayed on your lunch.

41. Which brings in more corporate profit? Is it the budding cannabis industry? Or is it the already existing prison industrial complex that has been built up around the war on drugs and post 9/11 crackdowns on civil liberties?

42. It's going to help restaurants and the economy in general
