POT STATUS QUO A NO-GO

(Re: Editorial, "Pot biz must play it straight.")

I believe I am part of a majority of Canadians who believe the status
quo on marijuana is not acceptable. The Harper government has charged
and convicted thousands, many of those for small amounts of marijuana,
costing taxpayers millions. The Canadian Police Association has been
urging that for minor offences a ticket be issued. That would be in
effect de-criminalizing the use of small amounts. That will never
happen under the present government.
