MARIJUANA SELLERS SHOULD NOT BE EXEMPT FROM LAW

Re: "Langford pot shop busted after one day," Jan. 18.

Kudos to Langford Mayor Stew Young and the West Shore RCMP for enforcing
federal law and local bylaws and creating a level playing field for all
businesses that want to set up in Langford.

Until we have a change in federal regulations on marijuana distribution,
the existing legal framework is in place and has to be complied with,
regardless of "inconvenience" to consumers. Ignoring the laws for one
industry undermines our legal system and is unfair to those that operate
within it.

Mayors and councils in Victoria and Vancouver should take note.
