Richard Cannings, NDP Member of Parliament for 59029 South Okanagan-West Kootenay (British Columbia)
The Green Party and the Liberals both want to legalize marijuana, but the NDP wants to stop at decriminalizing possession. Richard Cannings, the NDP candidate, joked however, that he was the only candidate to admit to using marijuana.
“Before any of the other parties would even talk about this, we have advocated for the decriminalization of marijuana,” said Cannings. “We don’t think a person who smokes the odd joint should be thrown in jail.”
