UPDATE: In a Mr. Layton has recently (March 2009) stated his party does not support legalization.

"Our party is in favour of modernizing our marijuana laws and creating a legal environment where people can enjoy marijuana in the peace and quiet of their own home or in a cafe without the fear of being criminalized."

- Jack Layton, October 2003

A quote from a videotaped interview given to Marc Emery for Pot-TV.net.

"Public policy must also recognise that prohibitionist policies continue to fuel organised crime and other violent organisations in our society. Prohibiting drugs creates a black market that greatly inflates the value of drugs - and the profits to be made by selling them."

- Libby Davies
