Trudeau’s pot statement is absurd

In a radio interview, our prime minister stated that marijuana is a controlled substance that’s being legalized to protect children and communities. How absurd is that statement? Our PM might be smoking it already.

How can he say that legalizing pot will protect anybody? It will now be readily available to everyone of age, for people to smoke as they wish, with more impaired drivers on the road, with more intoxicated people walking the streets. How does that protect anybody?
