Canada scraps plan to decriminalize marijuana use

Canada scraps plan to decriminalize marijuana use
April 3, 2006 - newsone.ca

OTTAWA - Canada?s new Conservative government will scrap draft legislation which would have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on Monday.

The legislation, drawn up by the previous Liberal government, alarmed police officials in Canada and the neighboring United States who said it would only encourage the already booming trade in pot.

Once the Liberals lost the January 23 election after 12 years in power, the bill looked to be in deep trouble. One of Harper?s five priorities is to clamp down on crime.

"We will not be reintroducing the Liberal government?s marijuana decriminalization legislation," he told a meeting of the Canadian Professional Police Association.

"I thought we might find a receptive audience here," he told his audience after winning a round of applause.

Under the Liberal bill, people found with small amounts of marijuana would have been fined but would not have received a criminal record.

Canadian police complain that judges often hand down lenient sentences on people found guilty of running operations to grow marijuana illegally.

Estimates for the value of Canada?s booming pot business trade vary widely and some experts say it is worth C$10 billion ($8.5 billion) a year. The main center is the Pacific province of British Columbia, where criminals export potent marijuana, known as BC Bud, to the United States.

($1=$1.18 Canadian)

what can we do about it really?
I think a well organized mischeif campain against the RCMP
would be a start. not the least bit effective, but terribly fun and would lower their morale while distracting them from the buissness of policing marijuana.

officially thats just an IDEA, i have no intention of implementing such a criminal act (officially)

Canada wouldn't have so much pot growing if it wasn't such a criminal thing in the US. Without the war on drugs Canada would probobly produce a much smaller marijuana crop.

what makes "BC bud" so goddamn "potent" seriously?
It's the same weed grown evrywhere, the same way, same seeds. same buzz.
There's no refinement process, no magical soil, so canadian secret. BC bud is NOT more potent. there's just lots more of it to be found.

Biggest grow op ever busted in the history of earth was in Ontario.
