Personally, I wouldn't smoke marijuana, but I believe it should be legalized. It would provide a good boost to the economy, and if alcohol consumption laws and standards are applied to it (like age limits, etc), it shouldn't be a huge issue. One area of concern could be the high affecting driving ability, and with strict laws and penalties applying to that, it should be mostly preventable, though there's always going to be someone doing so, sadly.

Even then, it's been proven to be much less dangerous than alcohol. Alcohol, on average, is 114 times more deadly than marijuana is (alcohol lead to around 3.3 million deaths in 2012), and it's also been shown that the average marijuana consumer would have to consume 20,00-40,000 times the amount of THC in a cigarette to die from an overdose, something that has never happened in recorded medical history.

Regarding to the economy, taxing marijuana rather than spending money to prevent people from using it could result in a hugely positive economic outcome for Canada, and it'll prevent youths from having to use marijuana that could have been spiked with another harmful type of drug, which has happened multiple times before and is prevalent in certain areas. If we treat it like alcohol, it could really result in some positive effects on the Canadian population. Either way, it's not really like B.C.'s going to see a difference because half of the population probably smokes marijuana.

The problem is people will still sell it on the low, since you will be able to obtain it both ways, possession won't mean they got it illegally.
