Amendment Targets Victimless Criminal Activities

[MedicalNeed]

The bill which is being proposed by Stephen Harper and his Conservatives, Bill S-10, is a ridiculous proposition. This bill is an amendment to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act on the premise that Bill S-10 will target organized crime.

Prohibition is failing. Canadian marijuana smokers are still increasing every year, and since it is a highly demanded substance, it is a hugely inflated commodity, which makes it so popular amongst organized crime cartels. The issue is that this bill suggests minimum sentencing for people growing as few as six marijuana plants.

In my opinion, the people who are self-sufficient marijuana smokers are the victims. Smoking marijuana is often the only crime they ever commit, and by growing their own product, they are refusing to support organized crime and the violence that comes alongside it.

This amendment should be voted down as it targets victimless criminal activities, will fail to decrease crime, and cost billions of dollars.
