Marilyn Gladu, Conservative Member of Parliament for 35091 Sarnia-Lambton (Ontario)
"
Sarnia-Lambton Conservative Marilyn Gladu veered slightly from her party's tough-on-drugs platform Thursday by endorsing the decriminalization of marijuana during a student-organized debate.
“I don't want to see people taking up time in our court system for having a couple of joints, so I would support that,” she said when asked for her stance on decriminalization at Thursday's Calling All Candidates debate.
...
Despite her position on decriminalization, Gladu said she isn't supportive of taking it a step further with legalization.
“As a youth leader, I can tell you in 30 years I've seen a huge number of kids that started off smoking weed and then their buddies or their drug dealers sold them into something that is really nasty and that's the beginning of a trail that leads to violence and death and destruction of their lives, so no, we're not a fan of legalizing marijuana.”
