IT'S A MISTAKE TO MAKE MARIJUANA LEGAL

Several days ago in conversation with MP Maryam Monsef's assistant I
expressed my opposition to legalizing marijuana. The exception of
course would be for medical use with a doctor's prescription. Don't
jail people who use it, but do jail sellers.

Her answer made no sense. She said people can get it by illegal ways,
so it will be legalized. This way the pushers can open a Mom and Pot
store.

The Liberals could even go a step further. Since it is possible to
obtain a handgun from the underworld, why not let people buy one from
a gun store?

Of course, legalizing pot would make it easier for people to stop
smoking cigarettes. They could just toke up.
