Fedetal la"s that prohibit its possession and use may 'be aholishied withîn montls, he says. He eould nmake tebig decision in eadlyJanuary - t44at lis when he is schcduled Vo receive te prdLnminary re- port of te fîve-man comniisgion mmed in June Vo study te non-medeal use of drugs. The, commission won't have its final report for two years. Mr. Munro made it implicitly clear 1V xvas highly questionable if the government could wait that long leforc aling action. His announcement coiaçided with a statement from Dr. H. B. Cotnamn, Ontaio's supervising 'coroner, that caugitt meny observers by siqprise. He revealed thut he had recoi-mended primate Vo thc federal commnission that marijuana le made legal in Canada. He Said that its use is 'Uinevitable" in oday's society and its sale Shouild be per- miitted in government-controlled stores. Hie asn't recoin- fneqiding legalization o proniote the drug, eaid he doctor, but to control it. Atitoney4Gener'al Artihur Wisitart said he had "an open mnd" about legalizing msiijuana; like Mr. Muni-o, he stressed that iane in te law would depend on what the foderai commnission learns. The federal overninent gave no indication that there would be chanýges in stifi laws, for illegal trafficking ini marijuana, but Mr. Munno sV;essed these points: Rils~h penalties are now servng ,as a deterrent. Code amendanents Vo ailow for less severe penalties, and 1cms severe criminal records, had failed Vo change the pribem. The statements by Muni-o and Ootnamn will shock miany, esîcoa1Iy titose wiho are reluctant Vo sec Canada be- core tefirst country to legalize te usç of marijuana. * Accirate andi reliable information on te reai effeets of marjuana use ils woefuuiby lacking.
