Thank you for your question.
Liberals believe that legalization—not simply decriminalization—is the best way to keep marijuana out of the hands of children, prevent the proceeds from funding criminal activities, and reduce the negative health impacts.

As you know, the Conservatives’ approach to marijuana is failing our children. As we know from the World Health Organization, Canada has the highest teen usage of marijuana amongst the countries surveyed.

The system is clearly broken. The Liberal solution is clear: If we pass smart laws that tax and strictly regulate marijuana, we can better protect our children, while preventing millions of dollars from going into the pockets of criminal organizations and street gangs.

Thanks again for this opportunity!
