LEGALIZE THIS HERB

COMMENTING ON the large number of underage smokers at the recent pot
rally ("No Token Presence," Sept. 8), Sgt. Garet Bonn of the Edmonton
police said: "Our liquor laws don't allow anyone under 18 to drink in
public, but here, we're noticing a lot of teens doing illegal drugs
and I don't have the resources to do anything about it without
starting a riot." That's because liquor is legal and pot is illegal,
Sgt. Bonn. May I suggest if the good officer is genuinely concerned
about this issue, then he take his head out of the sand and joins the
calls to legalize this herb?
