RE: 'TORIES TO TAKE CLOSE LOOK AT POT LAWS,' DEC. 18

I don't want a ticket. I want marijuana to be legalized. The
announcement by the Conservatives that they were thinking of ticketing
for possession of small amounts of pot is their attempt to counter the
Liberals' plan to legalize pot. To issue tickets for possession
doesn't address the issue of illicit production, which is the biggest
harm we face. It's not the recreational or medical use of pot that is
the problem, but rather our continued reluctance to admit we were
wrong. Until we legalize pot we will continue to cause more harm.
