BILL WILL INCREASE PROFITS FOR ORGANIZED CRIME

To The Editor:

Increasing crime was the whole point of Bill C-51. These policies will
increase crime, which the police and government will use as a reason
to increase police and jail budgets, and further usurp civil rights
and liberties. That was the whole point of prohibition.

Police don't want the "War On Certain Drugs" to ever end because it
gives them all the leverage they need to harass the young, people of
color, the poor, and people with non-regulation hairstyles. It makes
their job relevant and never ending. Prohibition is a growth industry
as big a cash cow for police and lawyers and jailers as it is for
gangsters. They are two sides of the same coin.
