RELAXED POT LAWS WILL ADD TO OUR PROBLEMS

Editor:

Referring to 'Binns urges feds to move with caution on pot laws' (The 
Guardian, Dec. 13, 2002). One has to wonder what the outcome may be if the 
laws about using marijuana are even somewhat relaxed in P.E.I. and/or in 
Canada. The U.S. has been quick to jump on the recommendation already. When 
one considers the many problems that the health department and government 
officials have faced, and are still facing, about cigarette smoking over 
past years, one has to wonder what new problems may be faced if pot is 
allowed to be used more freely as a result of current laws being relaxed.
