GET OFF THE POT FENCE

Your editorial on medical marijuana contradicts itself.

You argued "that pot use, especially excessive use, should not be 
encouraged" and "the public should note the concern of B.C. doctors
about the safety and unregulated nature of medical marijuana."

Then comes the devil's advocate part: "If people want to smoke pot,
for whatever reason, they should be allowed. But let's not fool
ourselves that medical marijuana is the right approach," and then,
"just legalize it already and stop this silly approach to pot."

Talk about promoting social irresponsibility. Whose side are you
on?
