THINK DOPE IN THE BALLOT BOOTH

Support for regulation of pot like alcohol is the highest in B.C. and 
Quebec. In B.C. 50 per cent have used marijuana and 60 per cent 
support regulation and taxation.

In view of this, an attack our civil liberties through B.C. Hydro is 
not the solution. The solution is to pressure the feds for regulation 
and to vote for a B.C. political party that will support this.

The B.C. NDP has recently adopted a resolution calling for regulation 
of marijuana in the fashion of alcohol.

One other measure citizens can take is in the event they are called 
to jury duty. If you are a juror in a marijuana trial -- vote to 
acquit whether it is trafficking or growing. This would force all 
levels of government to regulate and cease their attack on our civil liberties.
