Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the smell of Marijuana smoke but then again to me cigarette/cigar smoke is just as bad. Once legal, if people want to smoke it, vape it, eat it or drink it, have at it. It's not for me, but a glass of red wine, beer or a dram of Scotch isn't for everyone either.

Agreed. My ex wife was addicted to Ativan, morphine and gabapentin all prescribed. She had three different doctors from Spruce Grove, St. Albert and Edmonton prescribing the Ativan. The morphine and gabapentin was from a dental procedure that went awry and lead to malpractice suit. This all lead to her heroin and cocaine use. I now have my 11 year old son and 15 year old daughter. Not fun. How is that for knowing what legal prescriptions can do on a personal level???
