Liberals remain "incredibly tolerant" of people who smoke marijuana
December 01, 2006
The skiing is awesome. The Whistler Film Festival opened to a full house this evening. And as reported earlier, the Liberals are going back to their roots:
The founder of the Marijuana party has left his political grassroots and is now a card-carrying member of the Liberal party.
He's now trying to shape pot policy for his newfound party.
Marc-Boris St. Maurice proposed a new Liberal policy to legalize marijuana. His idea triggered a brief, raucous debate but it didn't make it out of the preliminary stage of a policy workshop.
Despite the rejection, St. Maurice maintains Liberals remain "incredibly tolerant" of people who smoke marijuana.
"Without naming names, I'm in a good position to confirm there are many members of the Liberal party that do indulge," he said. "But I'm not going to say who."
