LETTER OF THE WEEK

LEGALIZING POT WOULD QUICKLY END POWER THEFT

By Herb Couch

Yes, let's stop marijuana grow-ops from stealing power from you and
me. The best way to accomplish this would be to immediately legalize
and regulate marijuana.

Prohibition did not stop alcohol use and it does not stop marijuana production.

Let's send the correct message to our young people. We will no longer
allow prohibition to make organized crime rich at our expense. There
will be huge financial savings for society by ending the war on pot.

That money would be better used to make sure that there is adequate
educational funding for all students in B.C.
