MORE THAN CORBELLA'S MEMORY DAMAGED

I DON'T believe Licia Corbella's personal memory problems justify the
continuation of a harmful drug policy ("Devastation caused by illicit drugs
all too familiar," Aug. 27). Given her inability to grasp the glaring flaw
in the "gateway" theory concerning marijuana, I suspect her admitted past
drug use may have damaged more than just her memory. I would hope that
Canada cares more about the health of Canadian children than appeasing drug
warriors in the U.S.

(It is the kids' well-being Licia is most concerned about.)
