Gord Johns N.D.P. MP Parksville Office

“(Prime Minister Stephen) Harper’s pot policy is reckless and it’s driven by ideology,” said NDP candidate Gord Johns. “We will restore an evidence-based policy to government,” he said, touting his party’s 40-year stand in favour of at least decriminalizing. “It’s been decades since we had a pragmatic discussion about this in Canada. It’s time for an adult conversation,” he said. He said the NDP’s approach would include aggressive public health and education, harm reduction, funding research and establishing an independent commission on non-medical use of marijuana to help guide Parliament." pqbnews dot com
