Ticketing OK
Ticket system for pot possession pushed by some Tories
Police often turn a blind eye to avoid hours of paperwork and court backlogs, MP says

At a meeting in Winnipeg last August, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police supported letting officers have the ability to ticket people found with 30 grams of marijuana or less. The association said it would be more efficient than laying charges.
At the time, Justice Minister Peter MacKay said he appreciated the chiefs' input but had no followup on their recommendation.
Now, the Conservative Party's law enforcement caucus is receptive to the idea.
"We think it's a positive move forward and we've expressed that to the powers that be," said Rick Norlock, caucus chair.
Norlock said both MacKay and Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney seem receptive to the idea.
But Norlock said the government would need to be careful in how it communicates any legislation.
"I guess the proviso would only be that we don't send out the message that we think possession of marijuana is a good thing and that's not something our party goes for."
Especially not after releasing attack ads against Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who came out in favour of legalizing marijuana last summer.
Trudeau also admitted to having smoked marijuana since being elected to the House of Commons, though he said he was "a very rare user."

The leader of the Liberal Party is focused solely on legalizing drugs, the kinds of drugs that change behaviour and send people to jail in the first place. The Liberals have never seen a common-sense measure to improve corrections that they did not oppose. Their leader even went so far, while he was out trolling for votes, as to go to a school in Brandon, Manitoba, to talk about how he wants to make it easier to get access to marijuana.
