Legalize pot Senate committee says. This is what I am referring to -g. The senate said marijuana use should be legalized for adults.I don't agree that this is a good policy at this time.I would prefer decriminalization,as I believe you do. After a period of that,maybe a few years,it would come under review for further leniency towards restrictions if appropriate. What does burn my @$$ is the American's belief that they have the G-d Given RIGHT to lobby on our domestic policies. Now there are States and Highly respected think tanks in the US speaking out against the same thing.Bout time. America has to understand that Canada is NOT..repeat NOT..part of the Union....not yet at least...<GGG> So they want to make boarder crossing more difficult?Go ahead.I'm sure Canadians can find other interesting places to vacation this summer,you know,like..Canada...heh heh heh. KC cbc.ca Last Updated Wed Sep 4 16:46:25 2002 OTTAWA-- A Senate committee said in a report Wednesday that marijuana use should be legalized for adults. The Special Committee on Illegal Drugs released its final report on Wednesday morning, in which it says the public drug policy should be of a guiding nature, rather than a restrictive one. Pierre Claude Nolin "The committee recommends that cannabis should be from here on in legal and of restricted use, so that Canadians can choose whether to consume or not in security," Senator Pierre Claude Nolin, chair of the committee. The committee also says the government should wipe clean the records of anyone convicted of marijuana possession. There is no good reason pot smokers should be subject to criminal law, he said. "In many ways prohibition is a cop-out," said Nolin. He said drug policy should focus on harm reduction, prevention and treatment. The committee concludes that cannabis is less harmful than alcohol, and rejects the idea that smoking pot leads to harder drugs. Senator Colin Kenny said no one on the committee wants to see an increase in drug use. Written by CBC News Online staff
