Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to read that in my province of Saskatchewan, police know it is their job to enforce the law and shut down marijuana storefronts operating in our cities.

Can the Minister of Health please update the House on the serious health risks of smoking marijuana?

As seems clear from other legislation, the government seems intent on decriminalizing, and in my opinion I believe eventually fully legalizing marijuana. This legislation, Bill C-16, seems nothing but an attempt to deal with some of the problems that other legislation will cause. The bill seems to be a classic case of closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.

Tough on Illegal Drugs

March 12th, 2012
There has been some criticism of the Conservative government’s Tough on Crime stance on illegal drugs. Some Liberal senators want to amend the Safe Streets and Communities Act (newly passed into law) in order to exempt criminals growing fewer than 20 marijuana plants. They argue that growing 20 marijuana plants is really not that serious. After all, we really don’t want to turn kids with a bit of pot into criminals.  What people fail to realize is that 20 marijuana plants can earn a drug dealer up to $190,000.
If some Liberal senators get their way, drug dealers running grow ops will get off with a slap on the wrist–and all in the name of protecting the “recreational” pot smoker.
What is also troubling is the implication that smoking a little pot now and again is no big deal. Experts estimate that between eight to 13 per cent of all schizophrenia cases are linked to marijuana use during teen years.
Liberal senators and other lefty elitists (who think growing 20 marijuana plants is not a serious offence) probably see experimenting with drugs as a rite of passage for Canadian youth. In contrast, the vast majority of parents in my riding do not regard smoking marijuana as recreational. They would much rather have their kids doing their homework than smoking pot supplied by a drug dealer with “only 20 plants.”
I’m Brad Trost, your Member of Parliament in Saskatoon-Humboldt. You can reach my office in Saskatoon at 975-6133. Feel free to drop by my two offices for a visit: Saskatoon (Monday to Friday) or Humboldt (Tuesday and Wednesday). I always appreciate your feedback.
