SOME WON'T ADMIT DRUG WAR IS OVER

Editor:

Re: "Eager to fight grow ops now," Times editorial Dec. 20, 2012

The only thing this new legislation is going to do is make it harder
for people who need medical marijuana to get the cannabis strain they
need.

It will have no effect on illegal production, except possibly to
increase prices which will make it even more attractive to the
criminal underworld.

Full legalization: treat cannabis like wine, allow people to grow it
in their own backyards.

The Harper government cares nothing for science or for compassion, it
is an ideological battle that they are determined to win.

The war on drugs is over. The drug warriors lost, they just can't
admit it yet.
