US rips Canada plan to ease marijuana laws
By Pablo Bachelet, Reuters, 10/10/2003

WASHINGTON -- John Walters, the White House's top drug policymaker, said yesterday Canada was a blemish in an otherwise successful effort by the United States to cut back illegal drug production in the Western Hemisphere.

"It is the one place in the hemisphere where things are going the wrong way," said Walters, the director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. He has been an outspoken critic of a proposed Canadian law to ease penalties for marijuana possession.

Walters told a Washington think tank that Canadians who have privately expressed concerns with the policies of Prime Minister Jean Chretien should make their objections public.

His statement came as Parliament was beginning debate on a bill introduced by the Chretien government that would end criminal penalties for possessing about half an ounce of marijuana.

sorry mod... just got too heavy. Mind you I have seen a lot more lenience on these board that you have shown, including profanity in the subject line, (which I would never do) so I am not sure where the lines are drawn. Things seem very inconsistent. Some of Skinner's mods are fairly lenient and others very strict. Cést la vie.
