Attention pot smokers, libertarians and all those with a realistic perspective on the killer weed: this November, you'll find yourself with a genuine opportunity to move the struggle towards legalizing reefer just a little bit further in the right direction-if you reside in the Plateau.

Yes, celebrated local pot activist/politician Marc-Boris St-Maurice has officially announced he will be running as an independent candidate in the Jeanne-Mance riding in next fall's municipal election.

"All that was needed to win this riding last time around was 3,006 votes," says St-Maurice. "Voter turn-out is historically low here-around 20 per cent."

In other words, if you're a Plateau pot smoker and you'd like the local police to "start working harder to combat bicycle theft in the neighbourhood instead of arresting people for smoking marijuana," then go crazy and take a second to vote this coming November.

"A lot can be accomplished on a municipal level just by instructing the police in our district to make cannabis offences their lowest possible priority," he says. "It's already been done quite successfully in certain American cities."
