VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Organizers of a petition to reform pot laws here in BC are already talking about what they’ll do if their campaign doesn’t succeed.

Sensible BC leader Dana Larsen says the campaign has gathered only half the number of signatures it needs by the December 9th provincial deadline.

“[We’re] definitely thinking about trying again if we don’t make it this time. I’m really focused on the next three weeks and just getting all the signatures we can, but if we don’t make it, certainly we could start again. It would be much easier the second time around with all the lessons we’ve learned, the infrastructure with this campaign.

His group could stage a new petition in the months ahead, and get out of the gate faster by re-registering canvassers now signed up.

Canvassers had 90 days to get signatures from 10 per cent of voters in each of BC’s 85 ridings.

If the group meets its targets, the Sensible Policing Act will be forwarded to the provincial government.
