YOUR VIEW

It is this type of thinking that started the marijuana hysteria in the
first place.

I don't know any marijuana smokers who commit aggressive acts, assault, or
even murders because they are high on marijuana.  It's only because
marijuana is illegal that it is so lucrative.

..........

The police and prohibitionist politicians are the enemy of millions of
marijuana Canadians and their families and friends.

If police want to increase the heat toward an already angry and frustrated
three-million strong Canadian marijuana lobby - who have seen their members
beaten, arrested, humiliated and demonized by police for well over 30 years
now - then they had better be prepared to be hated for generations to come.

We sure are viciously discriminated against and vilified, in part because
thoughtless and irrational newspapers give voice to the sinister police
state utterings of uniformed thugs.
