I was a member of NORML for the longest time. I left for a different reason and now am a member of the MPP.
But in this case, Mr. St. Pierre is correct.
Here is what he said:

MMJ is a 'legal farce' and a 'largely a sham' as he put it.
MMJ does not lead to re-legalization. Once MMJ is established, the enthusiasm for re-legalization is diminished.
Why?
Because once patients get their medicine, they are unconcerned with re-legalization. Under MMJ, growers and dispensaries do not wish to risk losing their market share to industry.
Once people commit fraud to get their 'medicine,' they are unconcerned with re-legalization. That is the 'legal farce' he is talking about.
You may not like it, but it is true nonetheless.
He spoke the truth. No apology is necessary.
