While Justin Trudeau campaigned to be elected Prime Minister back in 2015, he discussed a broadly inclusive cannabis legalization model:

“We have to create an entire system that controls and regulates marijuana that will include medical marijuana and properly licensed dispensaries. How we go about doing that will be deeply informed by the lessons learned by the United States and other places so we build the right model for Canada,”

And,

“The challenge of getting this important initiative right is one of ensuring we are broadly listening to partners, to folks in the medical marijuana industry, to municipal partners, to provinces and drawing from best practices from around the world,” he said. “We’re going to get this right in a way that suits Canadians broadly.”

and,

“We need a fresh approach that controls and regulates marijuana…”

Right off the bat Trudeau appeared eager to move quickly:

In a March 15 interview with CKNW, the leader of the Liberal party told Gord MacDonald he would take immediate action to decriminalize the drug. “Will you bring forth legislation to do that in the first session of Parliament … ?” MacDonald asked. Trudeau’s response: “Yes, it is our intention to move on this in a very rapid fashion. I mean, there were some mistakes made south of the border that we can learn from about leaping before looking and thinking it through. But it is something we plan on moving on immediately.”

Trudeau never stressed “enforcement” before the election.

He’s stressing it now:

Asked what municipalities could do to deal with the scourge of such pot shops, Trudeau did not mince words: “You can enforce the law.”

As well, there is evidence that Trudeau supported “home-grown operations” instead of “large commercial farms” back before he ran for Prime Minister – but within two years of the election, which would have had an effect on the outcome:

WINNIPEG – Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says the Conservative government’s decision to launch a free market for medical marijuana is a move in the wrong direction.

Trudeau spoke Wednesday to hundreds of students at the University of Manitoba about a variety of issues, including economic growth and poverty.

When pressed for his views on the subject, Trudeau said he’s not in favour of replacing small, home-grown operations with larger commercial farms.

Trudeau’s comments came in response to a question from medical marijuana activist Steven Stairs, who held up a sign reading, “Let our people grow.”

Stairs, who uses the pot for his glaucoma, has accused the federal government of forcing sick people to jump through more hoops than necessary.

Trudeau, who also favours legalizing recreational marijuana, said the government’s move does not respect people’s freedom or contribute to the kind of care they need.

“Our worries are that the current hyper-controlled approach around medical marijuana that actually removes from individuals the capacity to grow their own, is not going in the right direction,” he said.

Under the old system, 4,200 growers were licensed to produce for a maximum of two patients each, but the Mounties complained those grow-ops were often a front for criminal organizations.
