JOINT PLANNING
Positive smoke signals wafted over Ottawa this week as Justice Minister
Martin Cauchon suggested he might relax Canada's marijuana laws. Marijuana
is an inconsequential intoxicant, probably less dangerous than alcohol, and
it's a waste of resources to haul recreational users into court.
Even the British, models of rectitude and reason, have announced a plan to
decriminalize marijuana.
Go for it, Mr. Cauchon. It won't be just snowboarders who thank you.
