According to an article in the NY Times, the Canadian Prime Minister will be introducing a law that legalizes marijuana in the entire country. While there are some details to be worked out, it appears that the Canadians want to avoid the craziness we have in the US where marijuana is legal in several states but is still illegal under federal law.

The only other country that has taken this step is Uruguay, but it is time for more countries to admit that prohibition doesn’t work.
