POT SQUABBLE I would appreciate if letter writer Mr. White would verify his facts before disputing those in my recent letter. Maybe marijuana is not considered a narcotic in his state of Colorado, but in Canada it remains under the Narcotic Control regulations, laws I enforced for many years. If he took time to check recently released Washington State information he would have discovered road deaths 'have doubled' since it legalized marijuana. His own state of Colorado, that he claims has embraced legalized pot, in fact warned the Trudeau government to go slowly in its plans to legalize marijuana, especially because of the problems it has had keeping it out of the hands of its youth. Like so many advocates of pot legalization, Mr. White is trying to paint a very positive picture.
