To Premier Christy Clark,

I am sending this email to express my disappointment in your government's lack of support for the Sensible BC campaign and marijuana law reform.

Polls show that 70% of British Columbians want decriminalization, and over 200,000 signed the Sensible BC petition. While not enough to trigger a referendum, this clearly demonstrates a sizeable appetite for marijuana reform in our province.

Yet arrests and charges for marijuana possession have been steadily rising in BC, doubling since 2006! This wastes police and court resources, unnecessarily criminalizes users, and hands over control of this lucrative industry to organized crime.

Legalization and regulation of BC's marijuana industry would generate around $500 million in tax revenue annually. We should be following the good example set by Washington and Colorado - legalize and regulate marijuana for the benefit of all British Columbians.

The best first step towards legalization is represented by the Sensible Policing Act: the BC government must instruct police to stop wasting resources on arresting marijuana users, and then call upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition. Both of these steps are fully within provincial jurisdiction.

I am calling on you to support the Sensible Policing Act, to stop arrests for marijuana possession in BC, and to actively work towards full legalization and regulation of our lucrative marijuana industry.

It's time to grow the economy, make our streets safer and focus police resources on real crime. Please support a more sensible BC.

Thank you for your time and attention to this important issue. I look forward to hearing back from you.
