WOULD MORE SMOKE LEGAL WEED?

Simple possession of pot will no longer land you behind bars if Ottawa gets 
its way.

Under a new law introduced yesterday, having enough marijuana to roll 
between 15 and 20 joints would get you a fine of up to $400, rather than 
possible jail time and a criminal record.

Do you think more people will smoke pot if it won't land them in the clink?

Call the Hotline at 468-1222 Ext. HOT (468) or e-mail  
and tell us - as briefly as possible - what you think and why.

The Hotline will be open until noon Thursday. The results will be in 
Saturday's paper.
