"With respect to legalization of marijuana or any
drug, there's a vigorous debate, but there's a lot of
red flags about moving in that direction. I think we
have to be aware and sensitive to the fact that
many in law enforcement, many crime fighters, have
serious reservations about going that route."

“However, the very same day, the so-called “queen of pot”, Jodie Emery,
announced that she had been approached by the Liberal Party to run as a
candidate in Vancouver East. She explained that the reason she wanted to
run as a Liberal candidate was to show that the Liberals are serious about
smoking marijuana as a normal, everyday Canadian activity. In her own
words, “It would basically be to say, ‘The Liberals support legalization’.”
As a mother, I am shocked by the reckless plan being put forward by the
leader of the Liberal Party. Our Conservative government will continue to
crack down on criminals and drug dealers, unlike the leader of the Liberal
Party, who continues to try to push dangerous and illegal drugs on our
children.”

“There is this evil Liberal name that haunts us still

Anders is seemingly referring to Trudeau's support
for the legalization of marijuana. Trudeau maintains
that controlling, taxing and regulating the
substance will actually help keep it out of the hands
of children.

Angus says as long as marijuana is illegal, it’ll continue to be run by biker
gangs. He says if it were to be kept under Federal control, how pot is
sold and who sells it can be monitored. "I think we’re better to have an
honest discussion about it as opposed to standing up and pretending we’
re all going to look down on those who do because we know lots of people
who are very respectable who smoke pot."

"I remember that my late mother—may God rest her soul—was convinced at one
time that a young man who tried smoking a marijuana joint would definitely end up a
wreck. Even though she and I did not do drugs, we had many discussions on this
issue, and I tried to prove to that she was wrong. However, her perception went
beyond the scientific facts that I could show. This revealed something even more
extraordinary: the fear of the unknown and the fear of something we do not know
how to fight. Well, it seems to me there is only one effective way to fight fear, and
it is called education."

"Hello, my name is Mauril Belanger, i'm a member of parliament
representing the riding of Ottawa-Vanier, i have done so since 1995. In
1973 the LeDane commission, reported, and recommended essentially,
that we progressively decriminalize marijuana. It's been more than 30
years now, and were no further ahead. So my question to you is very
simple. 'If you became prime minister, what would you do about this?'"

that, in personalized medicine in the future of health and health care in
Canada, research on personalized medicine, including THC and
