ARE FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAMPLING THE POT?

RE: Ottawa moves to ban menthol cigarettes (April 30)

I was appalled and convinced that our federal officials are already on
marijuana or possibly something stronger after reading this article.

The government says steering young people away from that first
cigarette is one of the most effective means of reducing lifetime
smokers. Maybe providing pot is the answer. It's proven addictive and,
most important, it will be revenue-generating - not to mention more
life-ruining events on our highways to compound our problem with
drinking and driving.
