GANGS WILL STILL SMUGGLE MARIJUANA

Re: "Decriminalization of pot will disarm gangs," Sept. 26

The authors of this article fail to mention that much, if not most of 
the marijuana grown in B.C., ends up being smuggled into the U.S.

How will allowing the cultivation of pot here in B.C. stop gangs from 
profiting in the smuggling of it to the U.S.? I would expect that 
gang activity would be enhanced with the legalization of pot in B.C. 
The black market for marijuana would be rich with "no tax" illegal 
pot here in B.C. also.
