MANY GOOD TEACHERS SMOKE MARIJUANA

On June 8, the Vancouver Sun published an article concerning the opinions of
the mayor, Larry Campbell, on another study about legalizing weed.

Many of the mayor's arguments echo my thoughts about legalization and the
clear advantages for us that legalization would create.

Of special note to me were his comments concerning educators. Some of
Nunavut's best and most dedicated teachers are users of marijuana and I
believe the legalization would have a positive affect in enhancing ability
to explore the topic "openly."

I want the best for our young people and this is one of many "best" chances
they deserve!
