Really, Jack Knox! Blame the feds? I couldn't give two hoots if people smoke or eat the stuff. But the fact is it is still illegal in Canada. So good on the municipalities who stand on that law. The fact that people smoke and drive, or smoke it wherever and nothing is done, is ridiculous. I could get arrested for having a beer in a park - and alcohol is legal. Cities should be making laws around the shops and preparing for the fact one day it might be legal, but until then, these places are breaking the law. Debb Crawford Victoria - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
