A war that can never be won using the current tactics. Law enforcement people, who have years of experiance with the "drug war" have another way that will lead to less violence and less money spent.

Okay I might be setting myself up for a lot of insults but ...Is it not the RCMP who lay the charges and crown prosecutes???

Negative Shellshadow
The RCMP take what they have to crown with their recommendations and the crown are the ones that say yay or nay to any charges being layed.

That is true Shellshadow.. They also recomend charges based on what their investigations turn up. The RCMP are pretty much the go getters for the crown they are the information collectors. Anyone please feel free to correct me if im wrong.

Kevin1006 we arent legalizing drugs because you want an excuse to smoke dope 24-7. Why else would you want to legalize? Besides drugs just mask a bigger problem with ones personal problems.

Shellshadow...no insults from me....legit question...the RCMP arrest and recommend charges, the crown has final say usually based on if they think they can make the charges stick....they can also decide to prosecute at a lesser charge...ie..lower murder one to manslaughter or negligence causing death etc..
