PROHIBITION-RELATED CRIME IS TOP THREAT

I question the percentage of the Canadian population that is asking 
law enforcement agencies to support Bill S-10 (Pot grow-ops: Six 
months in jail for six plants? The News, March 3).

North Americans having been reading that roughly half of all 
Canadians support legalizing, regulating and taxing the relatively 
safe, extremely popular God-given plant cannabis (marijuana).

If Bill S-10 were put to a vote by citizens, it would surely fail.

Further, Abbotsford MP Ed Fast, is mistaken: The number one threat is 
not drug or gang-related crime, it's prohibition-related crime.

And whoever supports prohibition clearly supports increased crime.
