Gary Hines labelled columnist Peter March a "criminal" for daring to
speak his mind at a cannabis legalization rally.

To the best of my knowledge, it is not yet a crime in this country to
protest unjust laws. It is not a crime to speak one's mind in public,
and it is not a crime to print letters in newspapers calling for an
overhaul of our criminal justice system. Not only does March deserve
to speak his mind concerning what he considers to be an unjust law, he
ought to be congratulated.

For the record, I hate Canada's drug laws. The sooner they are
abolished, the better. If saying so make me a criminal, I would be
proud to stand in the same jail as my fellow criminal, Peter March.
