Linking the trade in B.C.-grown marijuana to drug violence in Mexico and the United States, a former U.S. federal prosecutor on Wednesday added his voice to a growing chorus calling for the drug’s legalization.

“Gangs affiliated with dangerous drug cartels are distributing marijuana grown in British Columbia – it’s being exchanged for guns and cocaine that come up here [to British Columbia],” John McKay, a former U.S. federal prosecutor, said at a press conference held in a downtown Vancouver hotel. “So the negative impact of that is more than just proceeds going to Mexican drug cartels but also what’s coming back to Canada because of this production. It’s not a healthy bounty, if you will, from that production.”

Mr. McKay said the criminalization of weed has fuelled a massive illegal industry that threatens public safety on both sides of the border.

He said more than a dozen U.S. states are reforming marijuana policy and argues the country wouldn’t take punitive action against Canada if it were to do the same.

Mr. McKay obtained indictments for Mr. Emery, who was ultimately sentenced to five years in a U.S. prison in 2010 for selling marijuana seeds to American customers through the mail.

Several former B.C. attorneys-general and Vancouver mayors have joined a coalition of police, judges and health officials in advocating for the marijuana policy reform.

Legalization of pot would then make companies like marlboro jump in and monopolize the market.

Do you enjoy corporate factories using who knows what chemicals to keep you addicted and keep the profit margin up with inferior product?

If so, I have some lawn mower trimmings I can spray a chemical cocktail on sure to get you stoned, and it's more affordable!

They need to free Marc Emery. What they did was political, and the rmcp let it happen. They let a political lynch-mob violate the sovereign soil of Canada. S977
