Hang Onto Your Roach Clip:

THE POT DEBATE IS HEATING UP

If readers think the debate over marijuana is already heated, hang
onto your roach clip -- we're just getting started. With the Emery
situation, the Americans have successfully frightened their citizens,
and at the same time sidestepped the thorny issue of medical marijuana
and decriminalization. On the bright side, I predict that this will be
the beginning of the end of the marijuana debate in Canada. As Marc
Emery loses his freedom, that green elephant in the room is going to
get much, much bigger. Good luck, Marc. And give 'em hell. I am proud
to be your fellow citizen. Rock the boat, speak on behalf of the
unspoken, make it a worthy argument to have over a beer and help make
us be Canadian. We'll get this eventually.
