DRUG USE A MEDICAL ISSUE

RE: Dion Pitches Climate, Addiction Policies In Victoria (Jan. 31
issue, The Golden Star).

Funny how Stephane Dion is willing to be more sensible about safe
injection sites, but still has his head buried when it comes to The
War On Certain Drugs.

All studies show that drug prohibition is fuelling crime, subsidizing
gangsters, and increasing community costs and danger. Two-thirds of
Canadians want to see drug use dealt with as a medical issue, not a
criminal one.

Undaunted by science, history or facts, the Tories are promising to
build more jails, hire more cops, and increase this counterproductive
policy! Unencumbered by common sense or critical thinking, Tory
voters are gobbling it up by the spoonful.

The Liberals, apparently, are willing to do almost the same thing.

Why? The same reason as the Tories, I guess: To satisfy the psychotic
bully living to the south.
