SAVE A BUNDLE

Dear Editor:

My response to the Senate's recent report to legalize cannabis? "Yes, yes 
and yes!"

First, by running bus tours of American "tourists" to the "grass 
vineyards," we could wipe out the national debt in the first month.

Second, we would wipe out a quarter of organized crime and a tenth of 
street crime (by eliminating the profit margin for crime) and therefore 
save a bundle on policing costs and violence.

And as for the American government's concerns: They can kiss my sovereign 
hind quarters.
