When the govt here gets done taxing a joint will cost $50. They’ll probably also cut it 80% with barley so they can steal the rest and sell it on the side to supplement their $120/wk salaries.

Learning disabilities ? This country doesn’t even have books. Don’t worry about a little weed. The fluor has already caused irreparable brain damage.

Medical marijuana should be legal and provided by the Caja. I used marijuana for severe chronic pain for a couple of years prior to back surgery, reducing my need for strong pain-killers. Without cannabis, I may have had a fatal OD on those medications. While few formal clinical trials exist for cannabis (because laws have prevented such trials), there is plenty of anecdotal evidence supporting positive health effects from the drug.

Frankly, I would support full decriminalization of the substance for adults. It would provide much-needed tax revenue for the government and ensure quality for users It would also take Cannabis out of the illegal drug traffic, allowing law enforcement to focus attention on traffickers of harmful drugs and severing connections of otherwise law-abiding citizens to the black market .

I hope they also discuss how marijuana has corrupted law enforcement. OIJ Santa Cruz is the perfect example. Busting consumers and falsifying evidence to give non violent and otherwise law abiding people a criminal record. Propoganda surrounding marijuana has come to the forefront thanks to social networks, and the hard work of dedicated individuals. It is time to start locking up corrupt politicians and law enforcement officials who are using these issues to enrich themselves, while imprisoning the many good people that they have to long sentences. Costa Rica leadership mirrrors the corrupt GOP from the north. Just take a look at the major issues facing this country- it is like deja vu….
