INTERIM REPORT OF THE COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO THE NON-MEDICAL USE OF DRUGS

Publisher Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs, Queens Printer, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 1970 First Edition

This book is a soft cover in very good condition with 320 pages also with glossary.

A classic of drug policy literature.

The Le Dain Commission of Inquiry into the Non-medical Use of Drugs was arguably the last piece of truly sensible drug policy to be produced by any North American Government; naturally this landmark report, along with a contemporary U.S.A. counterpart was not only ignored but immediately suppressed by the governments who commissioned them. Within a year of its publication (the Final Report of the Commission appeared in 1973) , then-president of the USA, Richard Nixon launched the War on Drugs. After 40 years of this unwinnable war, it is vital for all of us to consider the disastrously pandemic human conditions we have created by failing to act wisely upon many of the recommendations within this work.

APPENDICES A TO J


MORE ABOUT ---- The Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs, often referred to as the Le Dain Commission after its chair Dean Gerald Le Dain, was a Canadian government commission that was begun in 1969 and completed its work in 1972.

The recommendations of Gerald Le Dain, Heinz Lehmann and J. Peter Stein included the repeal of the prohibition against the simple possession of cannabis and cultivation for personal use. Marie-Andree Bertrand, writing for a minority view, recommended a policy of legal distribution of cannabis, that cannabis be removed from the Narcotic Control Act (since replaced by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act) and that the provinces implement controls on possession and cultivation, similar to those governing the use of alcohol.

The report also recommended that the federal government conduct further research to monitor and evaluate changes in the extent and patterns of the use of cannabis and other drugs, and to explore possible consequences to health, and personal and social behaviour, resulting from the controlled legal distribution of cannabis.

A total of 365 submissions were presented at the hearings and an additional 50 were forwarded to the Commission's office. About 12,000 people attended and participated in these hearings, which included testimony from a number of prominent individuals including John Lennon on 22 December 1969 in Montreal.


Although the report was widely praised for its thoroughness and thoughtfulness, its conclusions were largely ignored by the Trudeau Federal government. Pierre Trudeau's son, Justin Trudeau, became Prime Minister of Canada 45 years later, and this Trudeau has started the process that will lead Parliament to legalize cannabis in Canada in 2017. Until legislation is enacted, marijuana remains illegal (except with a physician's prescription, for medical purposes) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reminded police forces across the country. He insisted that they “enforce the law”: criminally charge illegal storefront dispensaries. Trudeau also explained that the intent of the legislation is not to encourage recreational use of cannabis. The intent is "to better protect our kids from the easy access they have right now to marijuana [and] to remove the criminal elements that were profiting from marijuana," he told the Toronto Star on 2 December 2016.
