Military will restrict members' marijuana use — but won't ban it completely

'You just can't ban it outright,' says Lt.-Gen. Chuck Lamarre

"Lamarre said he doesn't believe there will be a spike in marijuana usage among members of the Armed Forces when it becomes legal. Most people who join the military, he said, join it to do challenging things, such as flying planes and helicopters, and anything that keeps them away from that work tends to be shunned."

Good luck with that mindset!

Once this becomes Legal most of the Country is going to be high as a kite. Do these people really think people are going to hold back on smoking this stuff before getting behind the wheel? OR from their breaks from work? There's a difference between medical usage as prescribed and just down right smoking it for recreation purposes, they say this will tackle the illegal drug activity, and keep it out of the hands of minors? Who believes that? This is a governmental money tax grab implementation period!

Is it possible sometimes down the road the Conservatives get power, and reverse all of this?
