POT TRAGEDY

Sadly tragedies will increase, especially with our young people who
feel they are invulnerable with the upcoming legalization of
marijuana. It seems that the federal government is more interested in
another form of taxation and looking cool in the eyes of the world
come next July 1.

The provinces do not have a plan in place, there will be a major
increase in impaired drivers, and because of the taxation, like
cigarettes, weed will thrive on the black market. We are headed toward
a real quagmire.
