SET ALL THE POT-GROWERS FREE
There would be a lot more space and a lot more money to deal with
repeat child molesters if our jails weren't full of non-violent drug
offenders. This is just one more example of how the War On Certain
Drugs is only making things worse.
Maybe someone in the police force would have been able to keep an eye
on Whitmore if so many officers weren't on "garden duty" tearing out
pot plants from basements and fields across the country?
Maybe Canadians should lobby their governments to set all the
pot-growers free, and put every convicted child-molester behind bars
for life? Nah... that would be the sensible thing to do.
