CANORA RESIDENT ASKS, 'IS CANADA GROWING TO POT?'

Our federal government will soon legalize marijuana. I'm not saying
it's a good thing or bad thing. It is so prevalent in society
something had to be done.

My thoughts on the matter is that if the federal Liberals think that
they are going to put these illegal pot-growing operations out of
business, they must stay monetarily competitive or better with the
underground prices for cannabis. Otherwise, people will not buy in the
legal outlets.

If by chance the government does manage to shut down a lot of the
illegal growing operations, these people who are making thousands of
dollars a day are not going to start flipping hamburgers at your local
fast food place. For a lot of them, all they know are drugs and big
money. You will see now on our streets in large numbers the drugs that
have a more detrimental effect on the people using and, in turn, on
society in general.

Marijuana can be smoked or eaten. Police cannot take everybody
suspected to be under the influence of pot in for blood work. Roadside
licking of a litmus paper will determine if T.H.C. is in the saliva.

If our courts are not backlogged already, just wait.
