HIGH ANXIETY

Re: "An argument gone to pot" editorial.

Hurrah for those folks who have found the "truth" that so long has
escaped us all.

Legalize (decriminalize) marijuana and presto, gangs and gang
violence would disappear ...virtually "overnight!"

But that's not all. In their enthusiasm, they missed the collateral
benefit of having solved B.C.'s problem of declining tourism from
south of the border and elsewhere.

Just think of the tourism potential of a mass influx of drug-deprived
folks descending on the "True North, Free and Legally Drugged,"
pouring untold billions of much-needed tourist dollars into our
ailing economy, with many of them undoubtedly wishing to stay permanently.

Indeed, that's the kind of "stimulus" (pun intended) that would
really help us all get through the economic recession with a "buzz."
