Possession of marijuana in canada

There is no perfect approach for legalized cannabis in Alberta. In many areas, our engagement with Albertans discovered that people were split in their opinions, and we recognize that there is no one clear strategy that will encompass the opinions and concerns of all Albertans. But of course, in the absence of effective law enforcement in Mexico and here often modest wages of crime for rank-and-file members, the criminal groups didn’t go out of business and retire on a beach in Acapulco. Criminal groups adjusted by diversifying into extortion of all local businesses, whether operating in illegal or legal economies. Generalized extortion often brought communities into a much greater contact with violence, insecurity, and fear and oppression than when marijuana smuggling dominated the local economy.
