Comment: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor; headline by newshawk

CANNABIS LAWS LACK REASON AND SENSE

I'VE FOLLOWED with interest the conversation you have carried on with your 
readers concerning your nation's laws on cannabis. As I understand it, the 
Ontario Court of Appeals struck down Canada's pot law as unconstitutional. 
The reasoning was fairly simple (which is why I am so surprised at your 
lack of understanding.) The law as written is based on false science and 
lack of reason or sense, particularly concerning cannabis' medical use. I 
hope your editorial staff does some research and learns to respond with 
more than smart-aleck, parenthetical quips.
