However, as far as I can see, Mr. Harper has already made cannabis legal for a very large number of Canadians. I would rather see people use cannabis than the prescription drugs that are not prescribed for them. Also, if cannabis were legalized for those who choose to use it, this would let the police have more time to investigate other crimes. The income, if cannabis were legalized, would be enormous and may get rid of the deficit and help in many other ways. Wayne Whynacht - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
