Dear Sam Vekemans,

Thank you for your recent email concerning the legalization of marijuana.

I have always supported decriminalization as the first step to legalization. Thomas Mulcair and our NDP Official Opposition Caucus have publicly stated their support for decriminalization.

Unfortunately, Stephen Harper, as head of government, has publicly stated marijuana will not be de-criminalized or legalized “on his watch.” In fact the Harper government recently put out new proposed guidelines that would make it illegal for medical marijuana users to grow even a small amount for personal use.

I would be happy to receive any other comments you may have on federal issues of concern to you.

Sincerely,

Randall Garrison, MP

Dear Sam Vekemans,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me about NDP’s marijuana policy. The NDP operates within the decriminalization framework. I encourage you to write to your Member of Parliament, Murray Rankin, about this issue to address your concerns.

Sincerely,

Randall Garrison, MP

Dear Randall Garrison,
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.
