GIVE AMNESTY TO THOSE FACING POT POSSESSION RAPS

I've been reading how the Chiefs of Police across Canada want to keep 
the failed long-gun registry in effect.

I think every police chief should be fired for lying to the public 
about the dangers of marijuana and keeping it illegal.

I have a criminal record for simple marijuana possession and its 
difficult to find a job because of it.

I've been reading all week about new studies at McGill University in 
Montreal that have found marijuana helps with neurological pain, which I have.

I wish Prime Minister Stephen Harper would give amnesty to everyone 
charged with marijuana possession. After that, the prime minister can 
get rid of every police chief in Canada, starting with Bill Blair of 
the Toronto Police department.
