Yup. I don't see it happening period. As much as I advocate it's legalization and eventual re-establishment as an industry, we as a species just aren't smart enough to figure out that it would be a step in the right direction not just for all the potheads out there, but also the jobs that would be created. Over 35,000 different products can be made from Hemp and Hemp byproducts.

Fuck, the cords on George Bush's parachute were made of hemp when he had to bail out of his fighter plane for chrissakes, the declaration of independance is written on Hemp Paper! FUCK I could go on and get all worked up but there's no point. We as a society are too wrapped up in all the wrong things and have been believing the lie for more than half a century, do you honestly think that everyone's view on weed will suddenly change because it's legal in Canada? It won't happen so you can all just put your bongs away...

I'm usually the optimist when it comes to things like this, but just because the bill or even the idea was put before Parliament, doesn't mean it will ever go into effect, no matter HOW good an idea it is, no matter how intelligent, sensible, economically, morally, environmentally, socially and medically beneficial the legalization of weed would be, some fucking idiot with the foresight of a blind shrew will keep it from happening.

Too many industries stand to lose too many profits if Pot and Hemp became an industry again it is cheaper, stronger and uses no harmful chemicals in it's production. DuPont, the world's leading producer of textiles would be CRUSHED if this were to come to pass... Hmmm... Ever wondered why Pot is illegal in the first place? Who could have had anything to do with it...

Would the tobacco thugs embrace this product and stop tobacco production in exchange for weed cultivation and manufacture? Fuck no! Weed's not addictive in the sense that cigarettes are, so fuck that noise, they want to make their 5 billion dollars this quarter...

All I'm trying to say is that it aint gonna happen, we're not that smart.
