I was a city councillor in Victoria from 2008-2011, and I can tell you from the latest numbers I've had—I haven't looked at these in a while—that in 2008 we had about 300 cannabis arrests in the city of Victoria, two-thirds of which were for under an ounce of cannabis. In other words, over one in three of our cannabis arrests in the city of Victoria were for less than an ounce of cannabis. Currently—I think you're probably familiar with the statistics—50,000 Canadians or so get arrested for cannabis-related charges. In Canada, most of those arrests are for personal possession.
