Of course, in order to comply with-already existing-Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Law, he must now support a call to legalise ALL narcotics.
There has been an active lobby, lead by Dr. Evan Wood, of healthcare professionals and former politicians calling for the legalisation of the marijuana industry.
The latest to speak out in favour of this proposition is Dr. Perry Kendall, B.C.’s Chief Medical Officer.
Dr. Perry Kendall, B.C.’s chief provincial medical health officer, has joined four former Vancouver mayors and four former B.C. attorneys-general in calling for an end to the criminalization of marijuana.
Kendall issued a statement today calling on the federal government to enact a health-based strategy towards pot. And he criticized current law enforcement efforts as “ineffective.”
“The fact cannabis is illegal doesn’t diminish access rates. The so-called war on drugs has not achieved its stated objective of reducing rates of drug use. It’s universally available in B.C. and the supply is controlled largely by criminal enterprise,” Kendall told The Sun.

Can B. C.'s Chief Medical Officer, and the other mental giants, who are pushing to legalise this NARCOTIC, not realise that by so doing; we would soon have to LEGALISE ALL NARCOTICS, ALL STREET DRUGS and ALL--even remotely related CRIMINAL ACTIVITY?
Does he, and the others, really believe that organised, criminal enterprise; which controls all illicit supply and demand; or that drug addicts, and other consumers of such products, would fail to claim discrimination under THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT?
Legalising any narcotic is not going to reduce the problem. Quite the contrary, as even more young kids would start experimenting with the new legal "pleasure"toy, while the true addicts; who would not be able to afford the heavily taxed, legal version, would continue to buy off the street.
Because the criminal element would undoubtedly see. fit to raise their prices, to be more in line with the heavily taxed legal product, there would be more petty crime and ultimately, as costs go up, even more inflation.
If marijuana were to be legalised, more people would begin to openly "smoke-up" in their vehicles. So,there will be more accidents and more traffic fatalities.

Our police departments and law enforcement officials would soon become powerless.The bottom line: if such legislation is ever passed, it will not make or save money: it will cost taxpayers, one hell of a lot, more.
