What are teenagers going to do?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4925523\" data-originallang=\"fr\">They will grow it, they will smoke it, and they will dry it. When it is illegal, they do not know how to do all that. Now, however, our entire society is going to learn to grow and smoke cannabis. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4925524\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What will happen in 10, 15, 20, or 30 years? Half of all Canadians will be in some sort of limbo. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4925525\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Who is going to pay for all this? This will be the decline of Canadian society. The Liberals will remember this for a very long time.</p>",
