3. Do you personally believe in criminal penalties for recreational marijuana use?
Since 2000, court rulings have made it legal for Canadians to possess and grow small amounts of cannabis for medicinal purposes. I have become aware that there are approximately 9000 medicinal marijuana users in Vernon alone, representing close to 1 in 4 adults. My concern remains, as it does with the Conservative party, that young people under the age of 16 who become regular users may have negative health outcomes.

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.
