TROUBLED TOKING

There is no question that the recreational use of marijuana is coming,
even though it will open the door to a number of serious health issues
down the road.

The Canadian Pediatric Society is advocating an age restriction for
its use along the lines of what is in place for alcohol. Give me a
break - if they think that younger people will adhere to the age limit
they are pipe dreaming. Like booze, the younger set will just pay
someone to purchase it for them.

This pending legislation will open up a Pandora's Box of problems but
the feds can't say the [sic] haven't been warned.
