Hey Cannabis loving Canadians, Irwin Cotler is bringing Uncle Scam's Drug War to Canada. Irwin is trying to sell Canadian's the Big Lie of Decriminilization, when in reality he wants to fine millions of you and put almost as many in jail.

"The Liberals Marijuana bill will prove expensive. It will increase policing and jailing costs and the human cost will be staggering. Justice Minister Irwin Cotler laid an egg by resurrecting the old Liberal government's marijuana decriminalization bill. This legislation will do the opposite of what Cotler says it will do. It will increase enforcement by bringing in a ticketing regime for small amounts of marijuana akin to the current collection racket run by traffic cops
It will increase policing and jailing costs and the human cost will be staggering. Imagine -- 14 years in prison if you are caught growing more than four plants. That's on par with our murder laws and if that doesn't constitute cruel and unusual punishment for the crime of horticulture, I don't know what does.
Worse than Cotler's laziness in not dealing with these issues (they were pointed out the last time around) is that the government continues to ignore the real issue of medical marijuana and court orders to get its house in order. The Office of Cannabis Medical Access, which coordinates initiatives related to providing a reliable Canadian source of medical pot, is a monumental failure by any measurable standard save futility......"- Ian Mulgrew, Vancouver Sun
