Pot Legislation coming

MacKay met with Police Chief's and may change policy regarding pot. There's a big difference between the Shaggy's and Scooby's of Canada and the foreign Breaking Bad dealers out there.....

"The Criminal Code offences would still be available to police, but we would look at options that would give police the ability, much like the treatment of open liquor, that would allow police to ticket those types of offences," he said.
MacKay said he met with Vancouver's police chief, as well as several other chiefs, who "seem to be very favourably inclined." 
"So it is under serious consideration," he said.
MacKay said marijuana charges didn't necessarily eat up a lot of court time, during his run as a Crown prosecutor.
"But, there were certainly charges laid where small amounts of marijuana were involved, which I thought could have been expedited by way of a fine, fine option."
