A Royal Newfoundland Constabulary officer recently named to a task force on legalizing and regulating marijuana says one of the biggest hurdles they face is dealing with impairment.
“I do believe it’s going to be a big concern,” Supt. Marlene Jesso told CBC Radio’s St. John’s Morning Show.
“That’s something we’ll have to look at as a task force, and see if we can come up with certain ways and different ways to be able to do that, because that, I think, may be a major issue in relation to the legalization of marijuana.”
esso, a 33-year police veteran, is one of nine Canadians chosen to serve on the federal government`s task force for the legalization of the drug, an appointment she accepted last week from Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale.
“It’s not everyday you get asked to change Canadian policy, so it is a big deal for me and I’ll take the job very seriously,” she said.
