Dear Sam,Thank you for writing me about cannabis regulation. I do not in any way think that cannabis should be treated the same as garden vegetables. Similar to alcohol and tobacco, marijuana is a drug plain and simple, and should be treated as such. However, the current approach to marijuana, its criminalization, is not working. It’s costly and unsafe, and that’s why I support legalizing and regulating it.I do know the difference between the three strains of cannabis. I find the increases of THC content, and reduction of CBD content, within modern Sativa strains worrisome, in that the marijuana strains most commonly sold are getting stronger. Part of the benefits of a regulated industry would be to prevent dangerous strains from being sold, and ensure safety standards, such as cannabinoid content and safe growing.The Conservative approach to drugs has resulted in more than 475,000 Canadians being arrested on marijuana-related charges, costing Canadians more than an estimated $500 million since 2006. I believe in a smart on crime approach, targeting real criminals instead of ordinary Canadians.I hope you found this helpful, and I encourage you to write me further if you have any more questions.Sincerely,Wayne Easter, P.C., M.P.

re: Does Hon. Wayne Easter support the removal of cannabis as a schedule II controlled substance from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (S.C. 1996, c. 19)?
Dear Hon. Wayne Easter,
Do you support the simple removal of cannabis as a schedule II controlled substance from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (S.C. 1996, c. 19)?, and let it be treated the same as Lettuce, Tomato, Oregano, Roses, Aloe Vera, Fern or any other common garden herb, flower or house plant?
Do you know the difference between Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis?
I look forward to receiving your responses as it will be made public, so then others wont need to ask you the same question.
Kind regards,
Sam Vekemans (address)
P.S. All 307 Members of Parliament are being asked these same questions.
