ANTI-POT HYSTERICS

Anti-drug summits like the one Matthew Mernagh writes about (NOW,
March 11-17) never cease to amaze me. These people with their vile
green weed! They're killing our children! So thanks, Mernagh, for
reminding us how the anti-pot fundamentalists like to get into a
lather. And look how we turned out! We're all giving birth to
two-headed children!

I remember sitting with a doctor once at a party, listening to her
talk about how pot makes users psychotic - all while she took a huge
haul off a joint someone had offered.

Nobody wants to talk about taxing pot, because it would solve too many
of our problems, and the talking heads of disinformation - i.e.,
Public Security Minister Monte Kwinter - would have to think of some
other ways of spending our tax dollars.

At the same time, Kwinter professes to be in favour of decrim. Wow! I
don't think I want to see his idea of a drug czar!
