LIBERALS WON'T GIVE POT A CHANCE

Dear Editor,

No party will ever legalize marijuana, not even the NDP or Greens
(even if they got power). Any legalization of marijuana will come the
same way as abortion and same-sex marriage - through the courts.

The so-called "decrim" bill proposed by the Jean Chretien and Paul
Martin regimes was actually worse than the laws we have already. But
still, the Liberals have decided not to legalize marijuana.

Regulating marijuana would make pot harder for kids to access, save
us about $2 billion in annual enforcement, courts, and corrections
costs, generate an additional $3 billion in annual tax revenue,
increase tourism, and free up police, courts, and corrections
services for pedophiles and child-porn enthusiasts.

But the most important benefit of legalising marijuana is that it
would put gangsters out of business. Imagine my surprise to see that
the Liberal Party decided against that. But then, neither do the Tories.
