On February 26th, 2009, Protestors demanding an end to drug prohibition caused an uproar outside Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's roundtable discussion on gang violence in downtown Vancouver yesterday.

Over fifty vocal critics gathered to call for an end to the drug war, which they see as the real cause of the gang violence, and to protest the Prime Minister's proposed anti-drug legislation that includes mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes.

The activists, including Green Party candidate Jodie Emery and her husband, BC Marijuana Party President Marc Emery (both editors of Cannabis Culture Magazine), held placards reading "Prohibition Funds Organized Crime" and "No Prison For Pot" and shouted loudly at the Library Square building where Harper met with law enforcement officials.

The protest was covered by several television stations and newspapers, including the CBC, Global, CTV and The Province.

You inhale a fucking plant you go to jail, you sodomize a child you get a slap in the wrist?! can someone tell me how the fuck that makes sense. I'm starting to think this is way beyond our incompetent politicians, i heard numerous times how pharmaceuticals are trying to patent THC. What if pharmaceuticals are lobbying to government in order to keep marijuana illegal? That is until they can find a way to patent it and begin selling it themselves.

they said they wanted to legalize all drugs?????

not only weed?

[PegCity008]

fuck conservative racists and their corrupt policies legalize marijuana so I can smoke in peace eat some chips and watch a movie and you can collect tax revenue. douchebag!

[duinthadope420]

if we legalized pot, there would be more room in jails for those offenders to serve both sentences. instead, they get a rape/murder/break and enter 3 for one so that if and when thousands of people like me want to smoke pot, there's a jail for us.
