PEACEFUL TOKERS
Vancouver Sgt. Scott Rintoul's own words in opposition to legalizing
drugs condemn him.
Commenting on the UN forum Beyond 2008, Rintoul said: "Half of the
RCMP's enforcement budget is spent on alcohol-related crime, and
alcohol is legal and regulated," he said.
The link between alcohol and violence is well-established, but there
is no such link between cannabis and its peaceful users.
Which provides even more reasons to legalize it immediately.
