Our objective is that there be no punishment of any kind for the use of cannabis, any more than there is for responsible use of alcohol or a home brew in your own home. I can own a vineyard. With my criminal record, I can't seemingly get a licence to produce marijuana, but I can still go out and start my own brewery. I could still start my own vineyard. I can do a lot of things with alcohol, tobacco, and a number of harmful substances, but I am not going to be permitted, under this law, to participate in the marijuana industry.
One thing you mentioned was public education. I sure hope a public education campaign is not going to be done by the same government that lied to the Canadian public for 50 years and demonized us to make people fear us, when there was nothing to fear about cannabis users or cannabis growers. If we were legal, we wouldn't be growing it in homes or in facilities we've rented from other people. It would be grown out on our Canadian farms and we'd let our Canadian farmers grow it and supply us.
Soon, CBD is going to be in everything you buy. It's going to be in your yogourt and in your milk because it's non-psychoactive and it's a cannabinoid product that's immeasurably valuable to everybody. It's anti-anxiety, and everybody is stressed out and anxious. It calms you and soothes the body, and it's not psychoactive. It's an aspect of marijuana that, if you took it every day, your life would be greatly improved. You're going to see it industrialized in our foods. Anything you consume daily eventually is going to have CBD.
We're going to see an enormous amount of innovation, but we need to free the market properly in order for all this to happen. Let our farmers grow it. Let them extract it. Let us put it in our foods, the CBD. You won't be growing in homes anymore. Very few people will be smoking it after 10 or 20 years, because much more sophisticated techniques are going to come along so people can benefit.
