About time...

Of course experts have been saying this for forty years.

BC is probably one of the provinces which is most liberal on drug policy (i.e. Insite) so I could see this pro-legalization stance taken up across the political landscape. But for any actual change, it is the federal government's jurisdiction so it will have to wait until 2015.

Personally, since support for marijuana distribution is so widespread, I believe that the NDP should make a larger emphasis on this issue. The vast majority of conservatives (esp. working class ones) that I know, realized that marijuana prohibition makes little sense.
