SMOKE POT, FIDDLER MACISAAC ADVISES KIDS

RED DEER, ALTA. - Fiddler Ashley MacIsaac says pot is way better than
booze, even for kids. "I would tell anyone out there if they ever
had the opportunity to have the choice of trying an intoxicant and it
was alcohol or it was marijuana, I would tell a 10-year old kid to
smoke a joint right then and there," MacIsaac said in an interview to
promote his Friday show here. MacIsaac says he uses pot to recover
from the physical toll taken by fiddling and he says he sympathizes
with sick people who have to go to court to fight for the right to
use marijuana to relieve their pain. MacIsaac says his troubles,
financial and otherwise, are behind him now.
