cannabis use increased over hundredfold between 1962 (20 cases)
and 1968 (2,331 cases). Then within a year it nearly doubled
(4,215) in 1969. The force identified some 13,500 marijuana users
that year and estimated that additional 45,000 had, at one time or
another, used the drug (stated as a conservative estimate). How­
ever, if only 8% of high school students and 25% of college and
university students were using or had the drug, a more accurate
total would be closer to the 215,000 figure.
In the (R.C.M.P. brief to the LeDain Commission Assistant
Commissioner, JR. Carriere, stated in 1969:
Prior to 1962, isolated cases of cannabis use were encountered
but generally, in connection with entertainers and visitors from
the United States. Although marijuana arrests were effected
sporadically in the middle 40’s, its use on a more frequent basis
appeared in Montreal only in 1962, in Toronto in 1963 and in Van­
couver in 1965. Abuse arose concurrently with the development of
the hippie sub-culture. It began in our universities and spread
rapidly to high schools. Today it is most common among the 17 to
25 age group. In addition, it can be found in virtually every subur­
ban centre, regardless of size.”1
The sharp rise in cannabis prosecutions was also felt by Mr.
Norman Chalmers, Toronto chief of the federal Department of
Justice. He reported that before April, 1966, proceedings under the
Narcotic Control Act were limited to one Wednesday afternoons
each week. By October, 1968, he required the use of one room all
the time at the New Court House (York County) and a staff of
four full-time prosecutors exclusively for narcotic cases.-5
On March 19, 1970, R.C.M.P. Commisioner W. L. Higgett ap­
peared before the Commons justice committee and reported “an
89% increase in drug offence convictions last year and the force
is losing ground in efforts to check youthful use of marijuana and
hashish.” He said the force recorded 5,504 drug convictions last
year (1969) compared with 2,923 the previous year. Most involved
marijuana or hashish.
In Metro Toronto drug arrests moved just above the 2,700 mark
in 1970, an increase of 170% from the 1969 total of 1039, according
to R.C.M.P. statistics. This was considered an alarming increase
compared to six years ago, when only 93 drug charges were laid
in Metro."
, Across Canada narcotic convictions in 1971 jumped more than
50% over 1970 to 10,137. Of these 94% involved the cannabis
products.
A Scarborough Probation Office study of 100 Pre-sentence
Investigation cases revealed some interesting facts on cannabis
convictions in that area during 1971. Of these 100 cases only eight
were females, and their mean age was 26. Direct cannabis convic­
tions registered at only five, while indirect cannabis involvement
-— those who were using or had used cannabis but convicted on
other charges — were 20. However, these figures cannot be con­
strued as representative pattern for the rest"of Metro Toronto.
In no other issue has North American society been more polarized
since W.W. 11 than the issue of drug abuse by youth in general
and cannabis legalization in particular. Marijuana has been hailed
at once as the “Liberation of Sin” and the “The Delight Giver,”

depending on which side of the issue one is found. Attitudes towaid
cannabis use range from out and out criminalization with harshei
penalties to free and open liberalization without any conti ols. The
following are two representative letters — on both sides oi the
issue-selected from the LeDain Report:
_
,
From a middle-aged mother of three who is a professional
writer married to a scientist;
“Tn his bid to solve the ‘generation-gap’ our middle son brought
a packet of marijuana to us for a Christmas present a year ago.
I was slightly horrified because I hoped, like most other
parents, that my children were not using- it. I was not prepared
to try it then. However, with the same sort of persuasion that had
previously won him the permission to keep a live garter snake,
painter his room in odd colours, and study art instead of mathe­
matics, I tried it as did his father, brother and sister.
Not too much happened the first time, except that a kind of
mellowness settled over the family. We smiled a lot and listened
to music that seemed somehow less forbidding than when the kids
played the records previously. The next night we smoked the rest
of it, and the place started swinging. It was really marvellous.
Everyone managed to talk together, about trivialities mainly, there
was no tendency to put down anyone. Opportunities to complain
or dig at the lack of academic diligence that was always part of the
previous conversations with this boy were ignored, and father in
particular listened to some of his ideas with a semblance of civility.
That alone made the experience worthwhile. The family that night
was closer together than anytime I can recall. I was greatly sur­
prised to see that what had seemed to be many hours was only
an hour and a half. We were all very happy together, and went
off to our rooms feeling as if we loved each other for the human
beings we were, not for more points on a scale of achievement.
For the first time in years my husband and I talked for an
hour or more about work, plans, memories, problems and possible
solutions — all things we never discussed with each other because
of the old scientist-humanist conflict and the rivalries that develop
between people in conflicting fields of interest. The miracle is that
he seemed also to be a human being, and not only a work machine
that ignored people, and particularly his family. I must have seemed
somewhat more reasonable to him too, as he did not try to depre­
ciate my interests.
The real miracle followed when we had intercourse. Instead of
the full, perfunctory act it had become, usually indulged in on my
part because it made it possible to get out of it the next night,
sex was something splendid. All the old routine thrust and counter
thrust , to get it over with as soon as possible disappeared. The
sensation was extraordinary, each second was a kind of new adven­
ture, each movement an experience, and the climaxes beautiful
beyond description. It 'was far more beautiful than the first weeks
of marriage, and the glow of fulfillment lasted throughout the
next day. It was both a physical and intellectual rediscovery between
two who knew each other too well for too long. . .
It is only honest to report that I have experienced one ‘bad
trip.’ I was very depressed about a variety of matters and my
husband suggested a smoke. It was a poor .idea, as the depression
magnified and on that occasion it was impossible to substitute
good experiences for the ideas that were already disturbing me.
It is much more fun in a group than with only two people, possibly
because there is more opportunity to interact. All the major sorts
of discretion and codes of conduct seem to remain intact. I doubt
if people do things under marijuana that they would not normally
do. There has been no tendency to group sex, orgies, obscenity, etc.
in my experience. Among people who are less up-tight about such
things, it is probably a normal part of it, but one doesn’t have to
do things that are against his value system unless he wants to.
What it does do is make people feel kindly to one another. It per­
mits a discarding of the preconceptions of and prejudices that we
hold to one another. It may be valid to extrapolate this further by
raying that one holds prejudices as a kind of self-protection. If one
drops the prejudice and admits the equality of another, he is in a
sense dropping his guard, leaving his ego undefended. If under
marijuana, one doesn’t .need this ego protection, then it is reason­
able to regard others in their essential humanity. Applying this
concept to the behavior of the younger generation, one begins to
understand why differences in class, race, social position, affluence,
etc., hold little interest and are not the source of conflict among
them. If this could be proven, I might as a sociologist, recommend
that we put pot in the metrecal of the Pentagon and Kremlin, and
a few other places too . . .”
From the mother of three children, living in a medium-sized
Canadian town:
I wasn t able to attend any of your hearings so thought I
would write our experience and opinions to you ...
AVe have a family of three — our oldest daughter ag-ed 21, is
married since last May. Our son who is 18 is in first year Science.
Our youngest daughter who was 17 in October is also in her first
year of an Arts course.
We are comfortable financially, (I would say in the above —
average income group locally).
,^e enjoyed a happy home. In bringing up our children we weien t stuffy about unimportant thing's but put our stress on the
basic a alues of life
honesty, etc. We think we were good paS
tus
are not saying we didn’t make any mistakes).
Our children tell us we are good parents and their teachers have
said.we are good parents. We brought them up to express their own
opinions., even though.it may not always have been the most populai opinion. In class discussions they contributed a lot and yet their
good sense of values in the Humanities showed through.
In spite of all the above mentioned we have just^gone through
two years or so of our own private hell in our own family life be­
cause our youngest daughter decided to experiment with 'drugs.
J.b^ou^ mention that all three of our children are very intellint^
av,e.r^e) so ib wasn't a case that she was ignorant of
the facts. She didn't put us into any danger as far as the law goes
as she never brought any home, just the results.
