Prime Minister Paul Martin pledged Friday that he would decriminalize simple possession of small amounts of marijuana if Canadians re-elect his Liberal Party in the coming federal election.

An initial decriminalization bill brought forward under Jean Chretien's government died when Martin took over as PM, but was later re-introduced. That second bill also died when parliament was dissolved last month following the election call. Martin said he planned to "bring…
