Some interesting info about Charlie Angus, NDP MP-elect for Timmins-James Bay and pot:

Tackling Election Issues

Quote:
Another divisive issue regards the legalization of marijuana. "To quote Nancy Regan: Just Say No," stated Van Oosten. "I think it's irresponsible for us as a government to allow legalization of marijuana or any other drug of that sort because it's a gateway drug and we have to ensure we protect our young people."

Angus believes legalizing marijuana would allow the government stricter controls of the production and manufacturing of it. "And I think we would get rid of organized crime in our towns."

"What I wouldn't do is like the Alliance Conservatives. They want to criminalize, get police, get jails and let's do like the Americans and let our crime rate increase...now that's a real good thing for Canada," said Chenier emphatically. To which Van Oosten interrupted: "People don't have a social doobie, they smoke marijuana to get high. It's totally irresponsible."

Angus Talks About Issues of Health and Pot


Quote:
Angus says he’s ready to face the tough issues of this election. He believes health care is the most serious. Another is his party leader’s view that marijuana should be legalized. The NDP is the only federal party with a formal policy to support legal marijuana. Jack Layton is in favour of modernizing Canada’s marijuana laws and so is Angus.

Angus says as long as marijuana is illegal, it’ll continue to be run by biker gangs. He says if it were to be kept under Federal control, how pot is sold and who sells it can be monitored. "I think we’re better to have an honest discussion about it as opposed to standing up and pretending we’re all going to look down on those who do because we know lots of people who are very respectable who smoke pot."


Here is an article he has written on pot:

Dear Charlie Angus,
Do you support the simple removal of Cannabis/Marijuana from the criminal code of Canada, and let it be treated the same as Lettuce, Tomato, Oregano, Roses, Aloe Vera, Fern or any other common garden herb, flower or house plant?
Do you know the difference between Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis?
I look forward to receiving your responses as it will be made public, so then others wont need to ask you the same question.
Kind regards,
Sam Vekemans (address)
P.S. All 303 Members of Parliament are being asked these same questions.
