Nice to see Thomas Mulcair coming around on cannabis. This is far from perfect, but its some of his best and most detailed comments on this issue yet. The NDP for 40 years has believed that it makes no sense at all for a person to have a criminal record for possession or personal use of a small amount of marijuana, Mulcair said when asked why his party isnt backing Trudeaus stance. But what we are also saying is that there are a lot of complex issues, including supply, that have to be looked at in a lot more detailed fashion.... There is still a fair amount of hard work to be done to be able to get to solutions. Mulcair didnt specifically raise any health concerns about weed, disputing a suggestion that its a gateway drug. Thats a very 1960s argument that has been widely debunked, Mulcair told a news conference.
