They should keep their hands off our weed. In another thread I gave Canada's former government run medical marijuana program and the extremely low quality cannabis they grew. Once they can tax AND regulate, they can not only tax ridiculous amounts (like cigarettes and hard liquor) but they can then control the quality. You may think the quality would increase, but does quality increase with things like tobacco when theyre regulated? I would say straight tobacco is much better than what you can buy from stores easily in cigarettes and rolling tobacco. Cleaner too.

What if they all of a sudden decide to add nicotine to marijuana? Keep in mind theres no nicotine in tobacco naturally....No chemicals for taste or to make it burn slower either.
