OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jack Layton’s call for legalizing marijuana is not getting the support of all of his MPs. Earlier this month, Mr. Layton told the Vancouver-based Internet site Pot TV that marijuana is “a wonderful substance” that should be legalized and urged pot smokers to vote for the NDP in the federal election next spring. … “I’ll be urging that we move beyond decriminalization,” Mr. Layton said in an interview. “We need to modernize our laws.” No other leader of a major federal political party has come out in support of legalizing marijuana.” SOURCE: ‘CAUCUS MEMBERS BREAK WITH LAYTON ON MARIJUANA POLICY,’ Globe and Mail, Wed, 26 Nov 2003 SOURCE: www.mapinc.org ———————————– When we asked if, in light of controversial publicity last election about Mr. Layton’s pro-legalization & regulation stance, was the NDP was rethinking it’s drug reform policy? “No,” he said “our policy is very much in favour of putting in place decriminalization ___and legalization___, allowing for regulations regarding age and driving concerns. ___That is the policy we will be running on and it has been our policy for sometime.___” [emphasis added] SOURCE: www.cannabisculture.com ————————————- “The federal NDP believes the federal government must move beyond decriminalization…” SOURCE: New Democratic Party website www.ndp.ca ———————————– JACK LAYTON, OCTOBER 2003 POT-TV @ 00:00:00: “Folks you’re watching POT-TV.

its not just jack, most of them are 2 faced flip flopping double talkers. Its the name of their game and how they play it out in front of the media. Behind the cameras tho they’re basically agents to carry out the wishes of the highest bidder
Layton supports everyone have access to POT, but his Party Pushes the SICK & DIEING and Legally Licensed Medical MJ users in Canada to use Street Drugs, and suport Organized Crime with our Disability Pensions!!
Go Jack in 2010!!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
You might think that, but no, I am just the average “regular joe” that calls a spade a spade, a retard a retard, and layton is a retard.
ok you think cuz you work on the rigs you are so great
fuck you man you dont know anything, jsut what you heard from the corupt government

Layton is a two faced piece of shit. At some point someone must have cut his balls off.
I smoke weed. I worked through high school to help raise cash for college, where I am now. So fuck you.
I have a life and a job. So I decided to look at your profile…
“Interests and Hobbies: farting
Movies and Shows: fart shoes, fart movies
Music: fart music
Books: fart books ”
Hey sidewalkpilot, grow up, stop acting like a 15 year old.
Cannabis is for everyone, hemp is for clothing, food, medcine, industrial use.. wake up its not about smoking .. you can make abour 30,000 product from cannabis .. smoking is only 1 of them
marijuana is for losers. get a life. get a job. stop acting like a 15 year old.
To vote for the NDP you would have to be brain dead. Jack-off Layton is a complete moron.. He does NOT represent labour, or anyone else other than himself. He is only after one thing- POWER, and it’s comforting to know the only power he’ll get is the the electrical sockets..
So where’s your “coalition” now? That would have been the worst option for this country.. Having those opposition RETARDS fighting amongst themselves would have been really funny though..
LETS LEGALIZE WEED! we can do something about it, we all just need to unite
screw the federal government
remember slavery?
if no one stood up im pretty sure it would still be going on
people were tortured, beaten, killed and thrown in jail but that didnt stop them standing up for their rights
eventually slavery was abolished
same with alcohol prohibition
eventually became re-legalized
Well it looks like it that there is going to be a coalition here real soon. Do any of you guys think that pot will be legal real soon when they do take in power? I know they have much higher priorities because of this huge recession that is happening right now but I think it’s going to be better though.
another bonus for voting NDP!
this makes me want to kill myself i DIDNT vote NDP! your a retard this would be a BEAUTIFUL thing!
this is my first time seeing this…just makes me glad I didn’t vote NDP!
im naked ;D C
I completely agree.
Jodie – you know there are lots of people who have more in their lives than pot. who care about health care, and jobs and the environment. if all you care about is pot by all means – vote for someone else. vote for the marijuana party. Layton and the New Democrats offer the most progressive policies over all. so i am am voting for the NDP.
WOAH! Hadn’t seen THIS before! How can he pretend none of this ever happened?
pandering turd
