Wanna smoke pot and drive? Move to Canada, eh!

Lighter Penalties for Minors in Pot Bill is an article from The Globe and Mail.

Here's a token bit: "Smoking pot while driving would not be a crime and penalties for minors would be lower than for adults, according to draft legislation decriminalizing the possession of marijuana.

As currently envisioned, the act would make possession of less than 15 grams of marijuana (the equivalent of about 20 joints) a non-criminal offence punishable by a fine of $150 for adults. Minors, however, would be charged only $100, although police would notify their parents of the offence."
