POT USERS MUST OWN UP TO DISORDER

Individuals who purchase marijuana illegally must accept 
responsibility for supporting and financing a wide array of criminal 
activity, along with the consequential damage and costs such 
enterprise inflects on society.

No public servant, elected or otherwise, should play any part in the 
legitimation of the retailing of marijuana acquired from illegal sources.

Federal law enforcement is correct to step in and remedy the 
situation of illegal shops and to lay charges against operators under 
the provisions of the Criminal Code. Stop the funding of criminal 
organizations by not purchasing from illegal entities.

Stop using pot and in doing so help yourself, your family and your 
community at large. Eliminate the demand for marijuana and we get 
back to safer communities.

Legitimize the supply channel and say goodbye to a generation of 
young people. Stop using marijuana and help reduce violence and crime.
