Great watch Trade in event furthermore it is Felt that a Possession offence acts As a deterrent and if it were eliminated Many persons who would not ordinarily become involved in the use of illicit drugs would be easily persuaded or conjured into using inspector Tomalty officer in charge of the ramp s drug enforcement Branch and Jack Ross Deputy commissioner responsible for criminal opera t i o n s were testifying before the Senate committee on Legal and constitutional affairs. The committee is studying a Bill which would eliminate jail terms for simple Possession of marijuana and hashish and re Duce maximum penalties to a Fine for a first offence Anc for subsequent offences. Jail terms would ensue Only if the Fine was not paid. The Bill also would Transfer control of cannabis from the narcotic control act to the food and drug act. The ramp Brief found fault with the Bill Only in a provision that would eliminate penalties for importing if a person established that the importing was Only for his personal use. The Brief said this is extremely difficult for a court to decide. For example a known trafficker could be apprehended in the process of importing 10 pounds of marijuana and his defence would simply be that he consumes 12 Grams per Day and this is his yearly inspector Tomalty provided statistics showing that Mari Juana seizures increased from 3.5 pounds in 1974-65 to pounds in 1973-74. Hashish Sei zures amounted to 8.3 Pound in 1966-67 but Rose to pounds in 1973-74 and the new a introduced hashish Oil not seen before 1971-72, rapidly in creased to the Point where 99.58 pounds were seized in he said organized crime attracted by the million profit that can be made importing a ton of hashish now is deeply involved in the cannabis although in the 1960s the traffic involved main y Young entrepreneurs of the so called hippy the illicit cannabis traffic in Canada today is a Multi million Dollar business that has increased in both size and complexity. Thus the Way in which the Public the judiciary and often times the news Media conceive of the cannabis prob pm is out of in addition the Brief said cannabis abuse has become Tiore serious in the last few years with a shift to stronger orms of the drug like hashish and hashish Oil. Inspector Tomalty was asked about a request from the Cana Ian medical association tues a that no criminal record be Zept on persons convicted of simple Possession of cannabis. He said the record is needed 10 courts can. Determine when stronger penalties should be applied for repeat offenders and there is already provision under the Law for expunging records after a period of no convictions. In addition he said the stigma of a criminal record is Art of the deterrent. But or. Ross said he saw no ejection to the association s secondary recommendation lat the record of conviction or simple Possession be based automatically after two r three years. He said second f f e n c e s Are rare except Mong traffickers. Senator martial Asselin pc asked if police ices take into account the of its of a cannabis charge on Oung people. Would they for Sample let a person off with warning for Possession of ust one joint marijuana there certainly is a disc re onary or.
