Senator Larry Campbell Pro Legalization
CTV.ca reported that Liberal Senator Larry Campbell is for legalizing marijuana and "tax[ing] the hell out of it." Being as this is what I believe I think Larry Campbell is on the right track. However I agree with former Conservative MP Randy White that Campbell should focus more on bills that have a chance of going somewhere under a Conservative government. Legalizing marijuana should be a priority, however I doubt very much that a Conservative government will ever pass such a law.
Don't get me wrong I don't think Campbell should let the issue die, but lets face it it is going nowhere right now. The Conservatives aren't going to remain in power for much longer, it is better to bring it back up once they are ousted. Of course another viewpoint could be that the Conservatives might gain even more of a stronghold after the next election and if that happens there is even less of a chance that any decriminalization of marijuana bill would ever have a chance.
