TRAMPLING ON OUR RIGHTS

So let me see if I understand Alison Myrden's letter in the Feb. 22 Post.

Is she really asking that because she is a cannabis smoker that the
rest of the world is supposed to give up their rights because these
medicine takers require their hourly toke? Am I reading this correctly?

Am I supposed to hold my breath as I pass by a legal cannabis smoker
(so as not to breathe in secondhand smoke) outside my favourite
family restaurant? Did you read the story about Mr Gibson, where he
states that his friends built him a shed so his own family does not
have to see him or smell it? Or was I the only one that read that part?

I am sorry that you and a few other individuals have some sort of
reason for having a legal licence to smoke cannabis, but please do
not ask that I give up my non-smoking rights to have to accommodate
you and the others. There was no discrimination here. Mr. Gibson was
asked to move away because of complaints of customers. Mr. Gibson
should be complying with the request, not trying to turn the issue
into a human rights case. This is one individual that was asked to
move farther away because paying customers were complaining about one
individual that was infringing on the rights of so many others. Maybe
the patrons of Gator Ted's should be bringing a human rights hearing
against Mr. Gibson and the rest of the legal cannabis smokers in Canada.

Let's have cooler heads prevail, work out an agreement between the
parties involved and move on.
