I think it's a terrible idea.
More generally, as I have written elsewhere, drugs are not dealt with well by criminal law but as health issues.
Note Portugal, not exactly a wild eyed leftist nation, decriminalised ALL drugs, what, 7 years ago. The right claimed the world would end and ... it didn't.
Drug use in Portugal is down and even the right wing parties don't suggest re-criminalising drugs.

Interesting.. next trip: Portugal!
as I wrote the Party this morning
Subject: support C-15 lose BC liberals - this one for sure
if you support the mandatory minimums legislation I will send you back my Liberal Party Membership and not support the Party further.
I live Vancouver but I have lived and worked in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and know for a fact this legislation is not supported country-wide.
It has less support in the population as a whole than the opposite.
