BIG CHANGES

As Canada is about to join Uruguay as one of two countries to legalize
marijuana, we are in for major changes in our culture, plus added
pressure on our ailing health care.

It is most disturbing that the Trudeau Liberals are rushing ahead with
legalization before a simple roadside test is available to test for
driver pot-smoking impairment.

The government is ignoring the Canadian Medical Association's
recommendation to raise the age for purchase to at least 21. Police
better get ready for the entry of organized crime groups, which will
surely take advantage of black market pot sales. Canada as we know it
is about to be majorly changed.
