Well, I'm just wondering, because we've heard lots of evidence about cannabis and its health impacts, the undesirability of using it, it's impact on young people, yet we, as a Parliament, are trying to provide a rational system that recognizes that, while people are using it, we may as well regulate it and ensure that organized crime is not involved it it and that there are safe amounts of it. Of course, I come from Vancouver, where the opioid crisis is raging. We're on track this year to have more deaths than last year, which was in itself a record, from fentanyl and other opioids, and it strikes me that a similar approach.... If this is the right approach to cannabis, I'm struggling to find out what the differentiation would be with the other drugs.
