NORML.ORG Canada: Web: Edu: Minimum Sentencing Now in Place for Marijuana

Canada
-------
Anyone charged with drug crimes will now have to serve a minimum sentence under the new Bill C-15

On June 8, the House of Commons passed a bill to institute mandatory minimum sentencing for marijuana and other drug crimes.

Bill C-15 seeks to impose mandatory minimum penalties for marijuana and other drug offences, including 6 months for 5 marijuana plants.

Marc Emery, the founder of the BC Marijuana Party and publisher of Cannabis, is currently facing extradition to the United States on charges of distribution of marijuana seeds.

Recently, Emery announced he intends to plead guilty to the charges in exchange for a reduced sentence, to be served in the United States.

"Stephen Harper hates the marijuana culture. First they went after me, now they're renewing their attack on the overall culture," said Emery in a press release from Cannabis Culture. "If marijuana people don't stand up against C-15, they'll find their freedom replaced with the bars of a jail cell."

The bill has been widely criticized by criminal justice experts, who point to the total failure of mandatory minimum sentencing in the United States to deter or reduce the amount of drug crimes occurring.

This is just some sort of crazy joke right? How do they think that is actually going to help anything? It's been said many times that the worse thing about Cannabis is jail!

Sorry Canadians but your country has just been crossed off my visit list. Such a shame because you really do have one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
