From ‘Raving Maniacs’ to the ‘Prince of Pot’: A History of Weed in Canada | VICE News

A HISTORY OF WEED IN CANADA – It’s decades past the time to stop criminalizing a non-violent activity. The Canadian Le Dain commission of 1973 concluded that “the criminalization of cannabis had no scientific basis.” “continued criminalization of cannabis remains unjustified based on scientific data on the danger it poses.” In 2015 the CBC reported that “86 percent of Canadians and 75 percent of Conservative voters supported legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana.” Stop the injustice.

Canada has had a complicated relationship with marijuana over the years.
