ALL THESE POT BUSTS DON'T MAKE SENSE, MAKE IT A CASH CROP
I saw on TV that the RCMP had harvested or stolen $30 million worth
of marijuana in B.C. recently.
And in New Brunswick there was also a large harvest or ripoff of
marijuana by the authorities.
To turn around the economy, the government should decriminalize
marijuana and let the farmers who want to grow it grow it indoors or
outdoors, whether they're sick or not.
It has a very good cash value. It could keep the economy stable. It
grows very well here.
And many people need it, physically as well as mentally.
It's holy smoke.
We're just wasting our time having the police take something that
somebody worked so hard to grow.
It's hard to grow anything.
It takes time, energy, water and nurturing.
It's about time we decriminalized it and appreciated the plants that
grow here in beautiful British Columbia.
I'm sure it would turn the economy around.
People pay their mortgages and bills with it.
It doesn't all go in their pockets.
They grow it, they deserve it. No one else does.
