B.C. KNOWLEDGE OF POT'S IMPACT IS HAZY

Billions of dollars have been spent by Canadian governments dissuading
young people from taking up tobacco use, and it is finally having a
positive effect. Therefore, now making an even more dangerous and
addictive drug, legal, certainly will require public education aimed
at parents and young children.

With studies in the U.K., U.S.A. and by the Canadian Medical
Association all conclusively showing young people using cannabis run a
greatly enhanced risk of suffering psychosis and other mental issues
later in life, education should have preceded legalization.
