PROBLEMS CREATED BY LEGALIZING POT

Dear editor:

Congratulations Mr. Miller, on your promotion.

Re: Your Editorial of Nov. 1, 2017.

The move on the part of our national government to "legalize" the
recreational use of marijuana without putting in place a nation-wide
format of what their "legalization" really means is utterly
disgraceful.

Their offloading this responsibility to each provincial jurisdiction
to rush together a set of laws and regulations by next summer is truly
unacceptable behaviour.

Once again we will have a situation of utter confusion with what is
legal or permissible from one local town or city to the next.

Such poor performance, to fulfill one campaign promise, at the cost of
creating so many new problems across our country.
