SIMPLE FACT: MARIJUANA SHOPS BREAK THE LAW

Re: "Divergent marijuana stance potty, but you can blame feds," column, 
Jan. 19. 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.
