TIME TO GO TO POT Re: "Is U.S. high on pot legalization?" (Mindelle Jacobs, May 12.) It should also be noted that Health Canada (which manages the medical marijuana licence department) has repeatedly, brazenly, violated court orders, and the program has been ruled "unconstitutional" by at least four judges. If the public knew what we medical marijuana licence holders already know about the Health Canada fiasco, the tide of public opinion would shift hard in favour of legalization. But public opinion should not even factor into this discussion because the public is so miserably misinformed their opinions are useless. Legalizing marijuana is simply the right thing to do, and science and history supports this. Russell Barth (The voices in favour of legalization are growing louder.) - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
