Hello,

You mentioned Tyrone Benskin in a status update a few days ago but due to your privacy settings his official page could not respond to you, I'm very sorry about that. As one of the administrator's of that page I wanted to take the time to let you know that Tyrone does indeed support the NDP's policies relating to marijuana and cannabis. He has never spoken on the issue in the House given the tight speaking schedule that he and the other MPs have, but that's not due to a lack of interest or understanding of the issue. For your reference, I have attached the most recent document that I could find, a minority report from the House of Commons health committee. This report was written by the NDP members of the committee, notably, Libby Davies. I hope that you find this useful. Please feel free to contact Tyrone's office by phone at 514-496-4885, or by e-mail at tyrone.benskin@parl.gc.ca . Thanks again for thinking of us!

Dear Tyrone Benskin,
Do you support the simple removal of Cannabis/Marijuana from the criminal code of Canada, and let it be treated the same as Lettuce, Tomato, Oregano, Roses, Aloe Vera, Fern or any other common garden herb, flower or house plant?
Do you know the difference between Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis?
I look forward to receiving your responses as it will be made public, so then others wont need to ask you the same question.
Kind regards,
Sam Vekemans (address)
P.S. All 303 Members of Parliament are being asked these same questions.
