POT LEGALIZATION MAKES NO SENSE

Editor:

I was a little surprised to learn that one of the planks of the Green
Party of Canada was to legalize marijuana.

If Canada were an isolated country, then I think legalization would be
the right thing to do, since this would probably reduce gang activity.
(Personally I see no value in smoking pot; are the TV snippets of
drug-crazed adherents not enough to turn you against it?)

But what about the USA? For sure the Americans are more conservative
regarding the cannabis question than we are here, with no possibility
of permissive legislation for a long time.

Wouldn't this create a huge industry for Canadians, as distributors of
noxious weed, with all the attendant troubles at the border?
