LEGAL DOPE
You reported that Liberal candidate Scott Bradley says "The
decriminalization of marijuana, yes I support [it]," ("Getting to know
the Liberal nomination candidates for Ottawa Centre," Sep 3, Xtra.ca).
"Decriminalize" is a non-word, meaning a non-thing. It is used by
people who have a non-position on this issue. Something is either
legal, or it isn't. If it is legal, it is regulated by citizens. If it
isn't legal, then it is controlled by gangs. Grow up and pick a lane,
Bradley.
And since Iggy and the Stooges chose to support mandatory minimum
sentences for the growing of marijuana by supporting Bill C-15, we can
see what voting Liberal can get you in Canada - jailed.
