(CN ON) Copyright: 2009 Pink Triangle Press Contact: http://www.xtra.ca/ Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/2153 Author: Russell Barth 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.
