Beauman SUSPECT RESULTS Editor: Re: Chuck Beyer's letter to the editor (The Times, April 26). He states "recent polls show that 50 per cent of Canadians want outright legalization of marijuana. Mmmm, I don't remember any pollster ever asking my opinion on this subject,w so I thought it would be a good idea to do one of my own, you know, just to corroborate Mr. Beyer's stats. The results were amazing, not one of my 10 friends polled at church agreed with legalizing marijuana, and, according the "recent polls" at least five should have been in the affirmative. Maybe my poll was the one that proves the caveat "this poll is correct 19 times out of 20," and Mr. Beyer is correct after all. J. Beauman, Langley - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
