Halifax -- Green Leader Elizabeth May says she has never smoked pot, and she's `not a big fan' of marijuana use. May, in Halifax to release her party's platform, was asked about a Green policy that calls for the decriminalization of Canada's marijuana laws. She says the existing legislation criminalizes 'decent, law-abiding Canadians' while helping sustain a vast network of organized crime. May says the criminal justice system should instead focus on `real crimes,' and a big chunk of the criminal underworld could be eliminated by letting people legally grow their own weed. She volunteered the revelation about not smoking up, saying she was aware most politicians are eventually asked whether they have indulged. Then, as if to acknowledge her party's laid-back, hippie image, she said: 'I apologize.'

How can we trust someone of May's generation who says that she's never smoked pot?
Because many DID NOT---DDDdddduh!
I think the important issue here is that she actually apologized for NOT breaking the law..This might be a novel idea..but, are our political leader supposed to be above the law...Give us a break.. That's like the liberal MP from Surrey (DALIWHAL) sending a letter of support for a convicted Drug dealer in the US...Are we ever lucky that the Liberals or Green will form the Governement..
