PRAISE FOR SENATE

RE "Going to pot," (editorial, Sept. 5): This editorial is quite correct 
that it is time to begin a serious debate on the reform of cannabis laws. 
The criminalization of cannabis has filled jails with otherwise law-abiding 
citizens, inspired government disdain among youth and made organized crime 
extremely rich.

The Senate deserves nothing but praise for suggesting such a wise and 
pragmatic policy reform. Whether or not you agree with the Senate's report, 
it is without a doubt that an examination of existing legislation is in order.
