PARLIAMENTARY REPORT WILL RECOMMEND THAT POT BE DECRIMINALIZED

SAINT JOHN, N.B. - A special parliamentary committee will recommend that growing pot for personal use should not be a crime, the New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal reports.

The newspaper reported yesterday that sources familiar with the work of the committee on the non-medical use of drugs say the move to decriminalize marijuana would still leave the possession of pot illegal, but the punishment would be a fine rather than a criminal record.

"If you're going to decriminalize marijuana, where is a person
supposed to get it?" said one well-placed source who confirmed that the committee is in favour of letting Canadians grow their own pot

I love this news...but I'll believe it when I see it...

Hugz,

Dear God thank you Mamabudz! I was following this report as I did with the Senate report but inbetween sitting on my lazy ass reading and flipping channels I seem to have forgotten to check up on it everyonce in a while. This report should have a much larger effect than the Senate report because its coming from elected officials, not bums collecting free money Heh, nah, but a House of Commons report recommending legalization/decrim would have a huge affect on the legalization movement.

If pot is decriminalized there are much bigger changes coming than just getting to flaunt growing plants.

For example, you probably won't need those bars.
