SEEDY SITUATION
Montreal -- I was a little confused reading Charlie McKenzie's
article on the RCMP marijuana-seed bust and I wasn't even high at the
time (Dopey RCMP Math -- March 9). Was the point that the RCMP should
stop wasting its time trying to determine how much marijuana a bag of
seeds would yield? Or was the point that the RCMP should stop wasting
its time pandering to U.S. drug hysteria?
Haven't we all had enough of this silly prohibition, of clogging the
court system and saddling people with criminal records? Weed is a
wonderful, useful little plant. Our overworked police forces should
be focusing on other things.
