As we all know, the supplies of illegal marijuana dispensaries come from illegal sources, that is, provided by criminal organizations. When these illegal activities thrive with the assistance of the Vancouver City Council by regulating the criminal activities, more money will be poured into these criminal organizations. The more money they obtain the more power they gain. Their power will eventually impose an influence on or even control all levels of governments. We do not want big cities such as Vancouver to become cities like Mexico or Colombia. Canada is founded by principles that recognize the rule of law.
Thank you for your April 23rd letter sent to Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. However, more needs to be done before this phenomenon spreads to other cities like an epidemic. Law abiding citizens are looking to the Federal Government to firmly and effectively exercise its authority before things get out of control.
雖然加國法庭頒令要求政府必須容許人在醫生處方下配取大麻,但法例清楚指明大麻必須被控制以確保公眾的健康和安全。為回應法庭的頒令,政府於2013年六月,實行藥用大麻規管(Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations簡稱 MMPR) ,目的是盡可能把乾製大麻與其他止痛但可令人上癮的藥品同樣處理。有關MMPR更多資料,請上加拿大衛生部網頁http://www.healthcanada.gc.ca/mma查閱。
