NOTHING TO FEAR FROM LEGAL POT

Re: "Pot's harm exceeds value of tax revenue," Letter, Dec. 29.

The letter writer's opinion could not be further off the mark.
Legalization has nothing to do with a legacy for the prime minister.

It is about fulfilling a campaign promise (finally) and growing
scientific data.

I voted for Justin Trudeau based on that promise.

The prohibition of marijuana has been a complete failure. I encourage
you to not make statements based on your own fears and absence of facts.

And let me guess - you brought in the new year drinking alcohol, which
was once prohibited because of its dangers to our social fabric.

The hypocrisy is coming to end, thankfully.
