POT FACT TO CONSIDER

Re: Cyclist's death in Stanley Park

Your article clearly states, "According to ICBC statistics provided by
the ministry, there have been no cycling accidents on the causeway in
recent years."

With all due respect to the deceased cyclist who died as a result of
losing control of her bike, I'm not in favour of over-reacting to a
single isolated incident.

On the other hand, a recent U.S. study found that traffic fatalities
declined nine per cent in states with medical marijuana. Don't take my
word, Google it yourself.
