NORML.ORG CN ON: Right-Wing Reefer

In his law student article, Tory said that he favoured decriminalization of pot, thought it was “absurd” to throw marijuana traffickers in jail and even mused about selling it as a legal product like alcohol.

Tory said yesterday that he still believes it’s unfair to give someone the stigma of a criminal record for simple possession but now believes in tougher sentences for traffickers.

I think it’s really important that more politicians realize that admitting they’ve smoked pot will probably not hurt their numbers. It’s good to know that there’s someone in the Conservative party considering decriminalization for personal use, but the standard Conservative model of tougher jail time for traffickers does nothing. You can put a murderer in jail, and there’s one less murderer on the street. However, if you put a drug dealer in jail, he’s replaced within hours.
