Snitches tend to have a lot of flat tires around here.

It won’t be legal. Congress would need to replead its laws and then other countries would need to let us out of our anti-drug treaties. Hopefully, by that time, everyone will see what a mistake they are making.

When NJ legalizes it by the end of the year it will be legal in NJ, just likes it's legal in other states that have decided to do so.

You get that, right?

You worded that quite aptly. The treaties you refer to are indeed created by and driven by us, and most of the countries you are referring to have been waiting for us to change our insane drug laws for decades. Some countries, like The Netherlands, have even gone so far as to adopt creative ways to avoid all the carnage of prohibition while still complying with the treaties (i.e. it's technically still illegal there in order to appease the US, but a very real and court-tested zero enforcement policy is in place in order to avoid a War On People like we have here).

Canada has taken a bold step in that direction, but they know the winds of change is in the air, so sanctions from other countries for breaking said drug treaties are highly unlikely.

And what mistake would that be? Saving millions of dollars prosecuting people for a plant?

It's the same thing as prohibition in the 1920's. Except, snitches were likely to be disposed of by the mafia.

In case you haven't noticed, other countries are breaking away from the antiquated cannabis laws the US tried to force on the rest of the world.

Cannabis is far less destructive than alcohol, has lesser lasting effects, easier on the mind, body and brain, and is fastly becoming normalized.

Please, show an example of your world is failing because of cannabis mentality.

Holy crap, legalize the stuff and issue pardons to everyone in jail for non-violent pot related offenses.
Canada is in fact making pardons easier and free for those convicted of possession under the 30 or 50 gram current legal possession passed earlier this week. Five days legal and I have yet to see or smell any grass being smoked in public.

Yes we will become so stoned that we will not notice that universal health care came into effect almost 60 years ago. I believe that your current government is much more authoritarianism than any Canada has ever considered.

Or perhaps to you socialism means having decent public schools or a relatively decent social safety net or being ranked higher than the US in freedoms. A fake right? What does that even mean? So a person in my province over the age of 18 can buy beer, whisky, cigarettes or a limited amount of grass and you need to make up stuff about rights,

Exactly which rights has our current government taken away from its citizens? Name at least one real right that has been withdrawn ed since November 2015.
