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.

Ottawa is appealing an Ontario court ruling that, if left to stand, could make the possession of marijuana legal in the province.

The Public Prosecution Office of Canada announced Tuesday that it has filed a notice of appeal with Ontario?Ts top court in respect to Justice Donald Thaliana?Ts April 11 ruling.

The appeal states that Talia made critical errors in law by declaring the federal medical marijuana program unconstitutional.

Talia ordered that Ottawa fix the program by July or face the prospect of effectively legalizing marijuana.
