It would end up like firearms laws in the US, a small group of highly restrictive states constantly griping that their inability to control their criminals is someone else's fault.
and in fact with Marijuana it's already happened, I think Nebraska has an ongoing lawsuit with Colorado over legal pot, and some property owners as well as the States of Nebraska and Oklahoma have a RICO (racketeering) suit ongoing with Colorado weed businesses, I guess alleging that the federally illegal businesses are rackets that are causing financial damage to their states. They basically again, want to blame someone else for their problems. I don't know if the laws in Canada permit racketeering suits or provinces to sue each other in that regard, but it is happending in the US.
Doesn't sound like something that could happen here but one never knows. All it takes is an attention-starved politician and a headline-starved news medium and anything can happen.
It's all so ridiculous. We're talking about a plant that was freely available for thousands of years and never a problem but now, since conservative Christians decided it's immoral or something there's a huge problem in society because of it.
