Former Montreal Canadiens superstar Guy Lafleur opposes the legalization of marijuana.
He made the public comment Saturday in Rockland Ontario.
The NHL Hall of Famer was attending a drug prevention program that he helped fund.
He spoke about his son's problems with drugs and talked about the feeling of helplessness many parents face when their children become addicted.
He says drug issues were the reason his son attended fourteen different schools.
Lafleur said Prime Minister Trudeau might have changed his mind about legalizing pot had he attended Saturday's event.
The five-time Stanley Cup winner calls the legalization plan "ridiculous", adding it will accomplish nothing but fill government coffers.
