Chretien, 69, said in an interview published on Friday that he might give pot a try once it is no longer a criminal offense -- presumably after he retires in February. Under the new law, pot users would only pay a fine if caught with small amounts.

"I don't know what is marijuana. Perhaps I will try it when it will no longer be criminal. I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand," he said in an interview with the Winnipeg Free Press.

i never seen pot as really that dangerous.
if i was to fill a 55.gallon drum fullOweed and i was also to get a 5th of wild turkey [burbon]. well if you gave me only one hour to smoke all that poundage in the barrel (if that was possable) i could still drive my car down the road with fine attention. on the other hand, if you gave me 3-4 hours to drink that 5th of burbon, i would either take out a telephone pole or hit another car driving on the road.
