Rebel commentator and medical cannabis user, Holly Nicholas, interviews the leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada, Tim Moen.

Is legalizing marijuana a contentious issue amongst right wingers? It can be.

It seems conservative politicians are at odds with the general public. Scott Reid was the only CPC MP to vote for Liberal Bill C-45, the legislation that will grant access to pot for those who have reached the age of majority by next summer.

But independent polling shows that the majority of Canadians are in support of legalizing the drug.

I received a little pushback from fellow right-wingers on my story weighing the pros and cons of legislation. Does that mean we can’t be pro-legalization?

There are health concerns to think about and the legislation isn’t solid.

A number of studies highlight the damage marijuana use can have on the developing brain, for example, yet the Alberta NDP’s “no tolerance” rule means kids can have about 20 joints in their possession with no criminal charges despite their promise to keep pot out of the hands of kids.

These are issues that are worth discussing, so I invited the leader of the Libertarian Party to give us his thoughts on marijuana legalization and make his arguments from the right.

Watch as I discuss this with Tim Moen to hear what he has to say about medicinal marijuana, what he’s heard about this legislation from conservatives and how to make it more effective.

On October 3rd, 2015, Josh Sigurdson spoke to Marc Emery, The Prince of Pot about several issues while in Saskatoon for the Prairie Medicinal Harvest Cup.
Emery spoke about his experience at the Prairie Cup and the friendly environment as well as testing all the strains entered into the competition.

Emery also went into detail regarding Justin Trudeau’s run for Prime Minister and Bill C-51. Emery claimed that those who protest C-51 are not credible or brave activists which is of course untrue, but all the same, it’s his words, not ours. He told us he has no criticisms of Justin Trudeau as he believe in only one issue, legalization.

We spoke about what this means for his alleged libertarianism.

It was an interesting conversation as always. We had to just stand back and let him say what he will. We didn’t want to get kicked out of the event when we still had several days of the event to cover.

We thank the excellent organizers of the Prairie Medicinal Harvest Cup for their accommodations and Cannabis in Canada for their work and support!
