B.C. medical group urges legalization of marijuana

VANCOUVER — Some B.C. medical health officials are advocating for the
legalization of marijuana, arguing that the government’s costly enforcement
activities are making little difference.

The Health Officers’ Council of B.C., which represents B.C.’S medical health
officers and other physicians, researchers and consultants, is endorsing a
report being released today that suggests a direct link between the province’s
$7-billion illegal cannabis industry and the increase in gang-related
homicides in B.C. from 1997 to 2009.
