Comment: It would be nice to read a headline/story about why is the government dragging its feet on the pot issue, why are we wasting tax dollars chasing offenders. I am sure Emery is funded by the commercial growers who are playing both sides.

Trudeau and his minions have switched their goal from legalization to commercialization. There is no concern for those in need of cheap safe pot for medicinal use and even less for the recreational user that prefer pot to booze. The goal is how do we keep people from growing their own so our friends with licenses can reap and share their bounty.

Solution: Decriminalize it and allow those that want to grow their own limited to personal consumption. Make them buy a local permit annually, fining violators. This would replace some of the tax revenue from commercialization but it would leave the tax revenue in the local community were it could be used more effectively. The lost tax revenue would be offset by reduced court and police costs.
