we actually got it done and they agreed to the royal commission. i am honestly blown away that we pushed this through together. stay tuned because we need to watch how this process unfolds now.

Petition to the Government of CanadaWhereas:
- The Liberal Government has committed to cannabis legalization for all purposes in 2017, and has specifically referenced, the LeDain Commission of 1979, the Senate Report of 2002, the Liberal Party Resolution #117 of 2012, the Draft Policy White Paper tabled in Ottawa January, 2013 by the Young Liberals of BC and various international UN treaties, and has notified the UN on April 19, 2016;
- Cannabis prohibition has been found to be a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms; and
- The government has failed to suspend arrests and prosecutions in the interim.
We, the undersigned, Citizens or residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to establish an independent, fully-empowered Royal Commission into the health, social and economic costs associated with the legalization of Cannabis use including costs associated with prohibition, discrimination, organized crime, political favouritism and corruption.

I want the right to use this plant as salad greens and for juicing as oncologists are reporting that they believe that this is preventive medicine . I want the right to grow this in my garden like anything else for my own use !
since the public is paying the salary of all MP's it seems reasonable that these 'public servants' make their personal support, or lack of support, known to all voting Canadians
cannabis is safer than alcohol, but you don't stop people from drinking it, and don't get me started about cannabis and cancer! Please move to schedual 1 so we can do more research and get hemp back into textiles and paper and stuff.
do your research, it's not about getting high it's about giving a person a quality of life. Children are suffering from epileptic seizures that don't have to, like little Kyla Williams
Without THC oil I'd be in agony all the time. I have very low tolerance for approved pain meds such as Diclophenac and Advil, the only thing that helps is THC. Please don't make us criminals because we want pain relief.
I've been a medical cannabis patient for years and it's time cannabis was treated as a prescription and Trillium should be paying for my medication, which costs twice the amount I bring in every month on my Canada Disability Pension and Widow's Pension. Those pensions haven't been raised significantly while the price of everything else has gone up. My medication costs $800 on the street, while Health Canada approved growers are charging me up to $25 PER GRAM...which is outright robbery and making money off the backs of the sick and disabled. Legalize now!
I agree 100% with your background facts and know them to be true, I also totally support your objectives detailed on your website

Help diversify medical treatments, and decriminalize marajuana so many will not be wrongfully prosecuted and continue to unnecessarily waste tax dollars processing them through the criminal justice system.
