GANGS ARE A BYPRODUCT OF PROHIBITION

It's obvious that Justice Minister Alison Redford realizes the
solution to minimizing gang activity is having things be legal! Yet on
the other hand, she has convinced herself that one day there will not
be a demand for substances to abuse. She places the blame for gangs on
customer shoulders. It is not the intention for drug users to fuel
gangs and criminal activity as Redford insinuates. Prohibition is the
objective of the judicial system, and a byproduct of prohibition is
gangs.

(Yep. Apparently she doesn't trust the public's judgment.)
