LeDain drug commission urged reforms on marijuana policy
The LeDain royal commission report on drugs is hailed for realism. It reportedly recommends moving marijuana and hashish offenses from the Narcotics Control Act to the Food and Drug Act, with suspended sentences and fines for early offenses. The Time article notes the stance aims to reduce underground use by reforming penalties rather than assuming zero risk, while urging stronger penalties for hard drugs and emphasizing education and research. Even if laws don’t change, the report reframes the issue and highlights the scope of drug use.
