“I believe these new measures which include information on dosage
guidelines, educational material and increased oversight, will help
decrease the potential for over prescribing and negative health
impacts.” said Daryl Kramp, M.P.
Marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada and has not
gone through the necessary rigorous scientific trials for efficacy or
safety.
Health Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana, but the courts
have required reasonable access to a legal source of marijuana for
medical purposes. As a result, the Government of Canada believes
that this must be done in a controlled fashion to protect public
health and safety.

fact that if one smokes marijuana, one

Opposition Liberal MP Kevin Lamoureux from Winnipeg North said he worries that private businesses will
charge more than the going rate to patients for medical marijuana.
“We have to recognize that these people are not rich in resources,” said Lamoureux.

"I would like to hear what the professionals think," Lamoureux said. "Having said that, I think it's important for
politicians to listen to what party members are saying. It passed overwhelmingly."
Lamoureux also wants to consult widely with his constituents. He's already drafted a questionnaire to gauge
support for the idea and says his views will be guided by Winnipeg North voters.

"Secondly, Marijuana is illegal in Canada because of the harm it does to
individuals and society as a whole. I don’t think Mr. Trudeau is taking a look at
the bigger picture on this issue. According to the experts, ultimately, marijuana
is a harmful substance. Even more troubling, is that according to Fraser Macrae,
former Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP, “…cannabis is a currency for
organized crime.” The detrimental effects organized crime can have on Canadian
communities and families can be devastating. Profits used by organized crime
groups selling marijuana are commonly used to traffic illicit drugs, firearms and
humans.
I would encourage Mr. Trudeau to take a closer look at the detrimental effects
legalizing marijuana can have on Canadian communities and families. Personally, I
do not believe marijuana should be legalized. As the Member of Parliament for
SD&SG, I will do everything in my power to prevent the legalization of this
potentially harmful drug. Unlike the Liberal Party, our Government will focus on
jobs, economic growth and the safety of Canadian communities and families."

Mr. Speaker, our government prioritizes safe streets and communities for
Canadian families. Unfortunately, the leader of the Liberal Party prioritizes
legalizing marijuana above everything else.
Families in my community were shocked to hear that the leader of the third
party made as his first and his only policy declaration that he wanted to make it
easier for children to access illegal drugs. He pointed to the example in the
regulation of alcohol being available as why pot should be legalized.
Parents in my community see through the Liberal leader's rhetoric and we know
that teens are twice as likely to consume alcohol in the past year as pot.
Regulating rules for alcohol did not prevent teens from accessing it.
By sending this message that recreational drug use is acceptable, the Liberal
leader is showing once again that he is not material for prime minister of our
country and that he is definitely way in over his head.

"Further, I would point out why a minimum sentence for having one
marijuana plant when say manslaughter does not even have a minimum
sentence. Aggravated sexual assault, section 273, has no minimum
sentence. Abduction of a child under 14 has no minimum sentence.
Abandoning a child under 10, so its life is likely to be endangered,
section 218, has no minimum sentence. However, if someone has a
marijuana plant we are going to send them away to jail for six months.

"Mr. Speaker, last week the Liberal soft on crime spokesman from Malpeque and the
NDP member for Vancouver East met to support convicted drug dealer Marc Emery.
This individual is serving a serious sentence in the United States for selling drugs
online, where anyone can access them.
Criminal acts like these put our children at risk. On this side of the House we have
been clear that drug dealers will face the full force of the law. Other parties are only
concerned with how they can help the drug trade. In fact, the member for Vancouver
East said selling drugs never posed any “...harm to any Canadian or U.S. citizen”.
Convicted drug dealer Marc Emery sums it up best. He said: “If the Liberals were still
the governing party now...[he] would have been immediately released upon...arrival in
Canada...”.
Rather than worrying about the victims of crime, all the Liberals and NDP are
concerned with is making things easier for convicted criminals. Our Conservative
government will always stand up against the shameful policies put forward by the
other side. "

He argued that other public health groups have warned about
the negative impact of marijuana on the developing brains of
children and the fact that it can "trigger episodes of psychosis

"And so I think there is a need to really be very circumspect

In an interview with QMI Agency Tuesday,
MacKay suggested that fining smokers for
possessing small amounts of marijuana is an idea
worth considering.
"That doesn’t mean decriminalizing or legalizing,
but it does mean giving police options, for
example, to issue fines in addition to any other
sanctions, or as a substitute for other
sanctions," he said. "These are things that we
are willing to look at in the new year, but there's
been no decision taken."

"Now let me respond to it. It's very simple. Our
position is not legalization of marijuana, it's
decriminalization. And it has been 40 years since
the Le Dain commission studied it. It's as simple
as that. That's all I wanted to say."

"The federal NDP believes the federal government must
move beyond decriminalization and examine and introduce a
non-punitive, rules based approach to adult marijuana use,
with an emphasis on prevention, education and health
promotion. Marijuana policy needs to eliminate the
criminalization of users and focus on reducing harm and
preventing crime."

"I see it on a regular basis, even in my home riding, where I have a good example
with regard to a stigma staying left over. I have a Ford truck driver who smoked
marijuana, got caught and has a federal conviction, so every time he goes into the
United States, he is rightly pulled over because he has a record, but sometimes he
is made to sit there for four or five hours. We have to intervene and say the
authorities should pull him over and go through the vehicle and do all the inspections
and enforcement they want to do, but the just-in-time delivery that the person is
doing right there is important for both of our economies. He has to live with that
type of stigma and that type of potential every single time he crosses the border.
It is his own fault and he has to pay for it, but the reality is that there is a
consequence."

"Canada needs to look beyond our closest neighbour and come up with a
comprehensive and safe marijuana policy. The U.S.-driven "War on Drugs" is not a
Canadian made solution. Canada must not be intimidated by U.S. rhetoric. Canada
should look instead to the United States as an example of a country with a
disastrously failed drug policy - a failed policy because of its perennial reliance on
prohibition. There are serious flaws in the federal government's current medical
marijuana program. The current regulations of the program are very restrictive,
overly bureaucratic and severely limit access by Canadians who have a legitimate need
for medical marijuana. These restrictions should be lifted immediately. The
recommendations of the Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs present a
reasonable, workable and non-bureaucratic means of ensuing access to marijuana for
therapeutic purposes."

“Dear Sam Vekemans,
Thank you inquiring about whether I support the removal of
cannabis as a schedule II controlled substance from the
Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. I fully support legalizing
marijuana by removing it from the drug schedule. Prohibition
has, obviously, not worked. All prohibition has achieved is
creating an underground economy of unregulated and violent
dealers. We need marijuana production to be regulated, taxed,
and available to adults.”
