| Description | Belinda Stronach says she's smoked pot, but still won't decriminalize it.
The federal Conservative leadership candidate admitted to reporters in New Brunswick Sunday that she's smoked up before - back in her highschool days. But Stronach says she's against decriminalizing marijuana because there are too many unanswered questions about the drug.
Stronach says she's concerned for public safety because it is still not known what smoking pot does to your health.
She also says until there is a better way to test for the drug, especially if someone is driving high, then penalties for pot should not be reduced.
Stronach stressed that Canadians must seriously consider what decriminalizing pot might do to economic relations with the U.S. |
