LeDain commission said back in about 1969, that the government should just
legalize it.) It will still be illegal, but if you get caught with half an
ounce or less (they originally said an ounce) you'll just get a ticket, and
it won't go on your record. My feeling is that they're just trying to
protect the rich kids, who might want to travel or become lawyers, etc., and
need to not have a record.

just wishful thinking?!!

and illegal (getting a record or prison sentence). Many activists see
decriminalization as the first step to legalization. The American Justice Department
isn't very happy, btw, with the movements in Canada toward decriminalization
for that very reason.
