I am one half of an upscale successful professional couple. We live
peacefully and quietly in a nice neighbourhood. We are well liked and
respect and obey the law ... except for one. We enjoy cannabis and
cultivate a small personal garden. After a long, hard day we enjoy sharing
a joint in the privacy of our own home.

The Sun takes a prohibitionist stance and believes that tough legal
sanctions against those narcotics governments deem illegal will somehow
make these items subside. The greatest example of the failure of drug
prohibition lies south of our border. America's hysterical, illogical
approach to drugs has led to government and law enforcement corruption,
gang violence and all the crime that drug prohibition brings with it.

If the prohibition of alcohol did not work, why would drug prohibition? I
kindly ask one of your editorial staff or readers to please take his/her
crayon and explain why people should be imprisoned, suffer asset
forfeiture, loss of career, be subjected to random drug tests and
ultimately be left destitute and unemployable due to a criminal record. IN
WHAT WAY DOES THIS POLICY BENEFIT SOCIETY?
