Marijuana Militia

In a thinly veiled attempt to adopt an American policy towards drug control Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his “Conservative” government are leading Canada, yet again in a direction it would rather not go.

Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper is calling for a cultural shift with Bill C-26, to be enforced by what his political opponents are calling an American-style war on drugs. He has introduced legislation that would set mandatory minimum jail sentences for marijuana growers and traffickers, and he is seeking more money for enforcement and prosecution.

The goal of enforcement and prosecution is to once again criminalize the small producer of marijuana, as well as the small time user.

With legislation through Bill C-26 being tabled that would require a judge to impose a minimum prison sentence of 6 months for manufacturing hash oil, or even passing a joint to a friend. Canada is setting itself up for an American style Prison Economy. Every Citizen labeled and numbered.

In what is proving to be an escalating war of words Stephen Harper has been quoted as saying “What we are up against…is a culture that since the 1960s has at the minimum not discouraged drug use and often romanticized it or made it cool, made it acceptable,”

Throwing acceptable medical research, and user testimony as well as a report from Canada’s own senate out the window. Canada’s law makers have for years advised against criminalizing marijuana and have even advised that the DARE program be scrapped and that drug education should not be taught by law enforcement officers.

What the Canadian Prime Minister fails to realize, is that we at Marijuana Militia are wise to his ways and we will not stop until Marijuana is complete decriminalized and unstigmatized. Stop the insanity Mr. Prime Minister, or there is no way we can attach the word honorable to anything you do or are.

In a free and democratic society, which recognizes fundamentally but not exclusively the rule of law as the source of normative rules and in which government must promote autonomy insofar as possible and therefore make only sparing use of the instruments of constraint, public policy on psychoactive substances must be structured around guiding principles respecting the life, health, security and rights and freedoms of individuals, who, naturally and legitimately, seek their own well-being and development and can recognize the presence, difference and equivalence of others.

Amend the Act to create a criminal exemption scheme to the criminal offenses provided in the CDSA in order to permit the personal production of cannabis so long as it is not sold for consideration or exchange in kind or other and not advertised or promoted in any other way. In addition, quantities shall be limited to ensure production is truly for personal consumption

Remember – Down with BILL C-26 and Down with the Conservative Government of Canada.
