HEALTH CANADA NOT PLAYING BY THE RULES

Re: Is U.S. high on pot legalization? (Nugget, May 12).

It should be noted Health Canada (which manages the medical marijuana 
license department) has repeatedly, brazenly, violated court orders, 
and the whole program has been ruled unconstitutional by at least four judges.

If the public knew what medical marijuana license holders already 
know about the Health Canada fiasco, the tide of public opinion would 
shift hard in favor of legalization.

But public opinion should not even factor into this discussion, 
because the public is so miserably misinformed on this topic that 
their opinions are useless. Legalizing marijuana is simply the right 
thing to do, and all science and history supports this.
