This decision is binding on Ontario's lower courts, which means that no-one can be convicted of pot possession in Ontario. This effectively means that marijuana is now legal in Canada's largest province.

No, it should be decriminalized as it is in The Netherlands.\n\nMarijuana is not a gateway drug. There has never been a legitmate study proving it is.\n\n"Despite the legalization of soft drugs, use of cannabis in the Netherlands is not higher than most other countries in Western Europe: 9.7% of young males consume cannabis at least once a month, which rates the Netherlands 7th in the EU after Cyprus (23.3%), Spain (16.4%), United Kingdom (15.8%), France (13.2%), Italy (10.9%) and Germany (9.9%).[1]\n\nSome critics say that the legalization of soft drugs often leads to quicker consuming of harddrugs. Yet, the percentage of the population which ever consumed cocaine in the Netherlands is still lower than that of the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy. The situation is similar for other hard drugs."

You still are penalized for possession in Canada, Marijuana is not legal.   However misdemeanor possession which is around a gram usually only carries a fine.

YeS! Our world would be a much better place if we could just smoke a hooter every now and then...it is not harmful. It makes you so mellow and happy! Did you ever know a mean pot head? They are always so sharing. I heard that in Canada somewhere it is legal and their crime rate is so much lower than the US's.  The govt. it just pissed they cant tax the stuff.

Denver did legalize marijuana, but Colorado did not. Since state law overrules city law, it is technically still illegal. And no there are no other states where it is legal.

It is illegal because there is no way for the U.S. to regulate and tax it. People would just grow it in their backyards. This is the REAL reason, not because it is a "gateway" drug. (If people want to do drugs, it is because they choose too, not because they got high and the joint said "Hey, you like this? Try Heroin!!" I've smoked marijuana many times before, but it has never made me want to try anything else.)

To really get at your question, there are 3 major reasons why Holland allows/tolerates the personal use of marijuana\n1) They believe in the general principle of self-determination (I should be able to do what I want to myself as long as I don't hurt others)\n\n2) They accept the distinction between hard drugs and soft...  hard drugs are both physically and psychologically addictive, while soft drugs are not physically addictive but "may" be psychologically addictive\n\n3) They accept (and proven) the political theory that says criminalizing certain "unacceptable actives" actually increases the negative effects of that activity (The US sort-of learned that lesson during prohibition)\n\nThose three basic principles combine to create a sympathetic political/legal system towards "soft drugs" such as marijuana.\n(A forth possible tenet/principle is the idea that prosecuting people for hurting themselves is just a waste of state resources.)

soft drugs were always legal in holland. hard drugs never were. \n\nif the crime rate declined/ inclined/ whatever in holland, it had nothing to do with the policy on drugs - that hasn't changed.

The only place I've even heard of weed be legal to smoke is the Netherlands (Amsterdam), and it's not even legal to grow it there.  You have to buy it from a "coffee shop."\n\nSo, I'm going to assume that since I've never heard of weed being legal in Australia, that it is indeed illegal to use and of course grow.\n\nTrust me though... I wish it was perfectly legal everywhere (to use and grow).  Maybe someday...

Amsterdam in the Netherlands (Holland) has a particularly lax stance on wacky weed and hashish. It is sold openly in coffee houses there.
