LIBERAL LEADER HAS CORRECT STANCE ON MARIJUANA

To the editor,

Justin Trudeau is correct about ending cannabis (marijuana) prohibition
(Reefer Madness On Horizon, Jan. 10, 2014), which is one of North
America's worst policy failures in history.

Cannabis prohibition
produces underground markets, cartels, increased hard drug addiction
rates, contempt for drug laws, eroded constitutional rights, loss of
freedom, escalated prison populations, corrupt politicians, race
discrimination, trillions of dollars in wasted taxes and the listing
is growing faster than the plant itself. The sooner Canada
RE-legalizes cannabis the sooner the sky will stop falling in.
