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. Alan Coulter (Lots for lawmakers to hash out.) - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
