If you didn’t already think the U.S. was psycho-paranoid about marijuana, this article from CNN should provide some enlightenment. Apparently Canada is considering lowering the penalties for possession of marijuana (not even legalizing it; just making it slightly less illegal), and the U.S. is up in arms about it.

I’m not even a user, and this still pisses me off. The U.S. is concerned that as a result of this change, marijuana will be smuggled more frequently from Canada into the U.S. Meanwhile, people from the U.S. are smuggling guns into Canada because the U.S. gun control laws are more relaxed. Which country do you think has more cause for concern?
