NDP leader takes “listening tour” to Elliot Lake
Mulcair not so high on legalizing marijuana
Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau sparked heated debates
across the country last week when he came out in favour of legalizing
marijuana.Mulcair isn’t as high as Trudeau on legal pot, but the NDP leader does feel the current laws are overly harsh.
“I don’t think anyone should go to jail for using marijuana,” said Muclair.
“But we also think we shouldn’t put the cart before the horse.”
While stressing the importance of looking at the product available on the current market, Mulcair said social and heath concerns need to be investigated before any laws are altered.
“What we smoked when I was younger is orgeno compared to what’s on the market today,” said Mulcair, when asked if he’s ever smoked marijuana.
“Yes to the decriminalization of marijuana, but before we go beyond that we need to find out all the facts.”

NDP clarifies Mulcair stance on marijuana
NDP leader doesn't believe jail sentence is appropriate for having small amount of the drug, party says

"
The New Democratic Party is trying to clear the air on leader Tom Mulcair's position on pot after the Young Liberals, hoping to score with younger Canadians on a day celebrated in marijuana culture, questioned his commitment to decriminalization.
Mulcair had created confusion about his party's position on March 18 when he said decriminalization would be "a mistake" because of the health risks associated with marijuana currently on the market.
But NDP spokesman George Soule said Friday that Mulcair was actually talking about legalization and said the NDP leader doesn't believe anyone should go to jail for possessing a small amount of marijuana.
