Pursuant to Standing Order 45, the House proceeded to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion of Mr. Rankin (Victoria), seconded by Ms. Quach (Salaberry—Suroît), — That the House: (a) recognize the contradiction of continuing to give Canadian criminal records for simple possession of marijuana after the government has stated that it should not be a crime; (b) recognize that this situation is unacceptable to Canadians, municipalities and law enforcement agencies; (c) recognize that a growing number of voices, including that of a former Liberal prime minister, are calling for decriminalization to address this gap; and (d) call upon the government to immediately decriminalize the simple possession of marijuana for personal use.

If you have a veteran who is using 10 grams per day, which is more than 4 times the amount of the average user, at the high end of the dosage levels, to me, something in that just does not compute. Also, if you figure it out by average daily usage, in the medical marijuana study that was done of current medical usage across the country, the average usage was identified at around 90 grams per month total usage. For a veteran who is taking 10 grams per day, that would amount to over 300 grams per month. At an average cost of $10 a gram, that's $30,000 a year.
I question whether all of that usage is actually being done by the veteran. Maybe that's not a conversation that anybody wants to have, but I'm lobbing the question out here because it's right there.

Pharmaceutical grade medical marijuana for veterans with PTSD and a future focus on tailored medicines for patients with chronic pain and in palliative care are the focus of Tidal Health Solutions in St. Stephen, NB. I was pleased to be invited for a tour and conversation with their Board of Directors. This is a highly federally regulated industry with significant potential for many sustainable long-term jobs in Charlotte County. ‪#‎medicalmarijuana‬
