DRUG LAW REFORMS ARE DESIGNED TO FAIL

The proposed drug law reforms are designed to fail. In fact, they are 
designed to exacerbate the proliferation of harder street drugs. The 
problem is not the cannabis consumer. This halfway measure of 
decriminalizing the consumer addresses none of the fundamental problems or 
root causes of drug use and abuse. Canadians should be asking their 
politicians and police why they stubbornly continue to support a counter 
productive "prohibition" that causes more crime, proliferates the disease 
of addiction and even helps to support terrorism against the free world.
