POTENT POT ACTUALLY BETTER ALTERNATIVE

I had to chuckle when I read Guy Bennett's column. I suspect a few Growbuster
cops said "I'll drink to that" when they read this splendid example of Reefer
Madness. People like Guy Bennett who endorse the weed war are becoming a small
but noisy minority.

Fortunately for all of us, most British Columbians are against the continued
supression of B.C.'s biggest cash crop. Pot is way safer than alcohol and
everybody knows it. The millions of Canadians who prefer pot instead of booze
have made a very healthy choice and that choice must be respected.

Right now thousands of desperate patients are on waiting lists for surgery
because the money supposedly is not there. Under these circumstances it is
totally immoral to waste millions every week for this unwinnable and
unpopular war against our own citizens.

B.C. has the best weed on the planet. Take a bow and be proud of this
incredible achievement.
