I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but Trudeau mentioned that one of the reasons for his stance, is that his brother was facing possession charges in BC shortly before he died. Michel Trudeau was into snowboarding, skiing, and some extreme sports, before his untimely demise in 1998 from an avalanche.
This was at the same time that snowboarder Ross Rebagliati was nearly stripped of his Gold Medal for testing positive for marijuana use. IMO, marijuana is far less harmful on society than alcohol.
