FORBIDDEN FROND

Whether a discussion of pot advocate Marc Emery's character is 
germane to the issue of legalization or not (Pot Still Fails The 
Sniff Test - Aug. 12), the bottom line is: Who do you want 
controlling your children's access to marijuana - the government, or 
a drug dealer? Who do you want to be responsible for quality control, 
strength and additives in the street drugs young people seem to have 
no trouble getting? Why, they even seem to be able to pick stuff up 
from the ground (Drugs And Sense - editorial, Aug. 11). The status 
quo is hurting young people and should be changed, even if Mr. Emery 
is not a saint.
