ONTARIO POT STRATEGY NOT TAILORED TO USERS

Re: Ontario announces it will make buying pot difficult, Sept. 9.

Ontario's approach to the sale of marijuana appears tailored to both
the risk-adverse and those with other interests, not for its users. If
the main objective of the Ontario government is to create excessive
restrictions for those on their journey to the land of bliss, it has
succeeded.

This approach, however, may do little to eliminate the black market -
but wasn't that one of the concerns?

In a few years, this strategy may be assessed as a road to hell that
was paved with good intentions.
