TORIES BLOW OFF IDEA OF DECRIMINALIZING POT
Potheads beware: the new Conservative government has no plans to
resurrect Liberal efforts to decriminalize possession of small amounts
of marijuana.
"We have no plans to bring any bill forward," said a spokesman for
Justice Minister Vic Toews. Public toking became more common as the
former government moved to loosen laws, but police in some areas are
cracking down again.
