Re: Removing Cannabis from the Drug Schedule.
Dear Darrell Samson,
As you know, the 'legalization of Marijuana' was and is a very important issue for Justin Trudeau & the Liberals to get elected. The question remains on exactly how to go about doing this.
I have taken the liberty of drafting my own independent Bill that I hope Members of Parliament and The Senate will accept & adopt. I have titled and Numbered the Bill, and put it in the format of existing legislation. Attached is a PDF (and links) for Bill S-420 'The Cannabis Freedom Act'
An Act to Remove Cannabis from the Drug Schedule. This legislation clearly outlines 6 things needed to be done. (a) remove Cannabis from the Drug Schedule II, VII and VIII. (b) expunge criminal records for those convicted under the CDSA (c) respect & recognize victims of the failed Drug War by designating a non-statutory holiday on the 20th day of April of each Year 'Cannabis Freedom Day' (d) designate the responsibility of any regulations (taxations) to the provinces and first Nations. (e) Permit personal growing akin to normal municipal regulations for growing garden plants at home; and (f) recognize the value of dispensaries working for patients and consumers to keep communities safe, strong, prosperous and healthy.
I look forward to your reply, comments and support for this proposal.
Yours sincerely,
Sam Vekemans
We, the undersigned, Citizens or residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to establish an independent, fully-empowered Royal Commission into the health, social and economic costs associated with the legalization of Cannabis use including costs associated with prohibition, discrimination, organized crime, political favouritism and corruption.
