WAR ON DRUGS A LOSING FIGHT
I laughed out loud when I read Rob Nicholson's proposed bill to jail
people for growing even one marijuana plant. He'd better submit a
followup bill to build another 50 or so jails in B.C. alone.
When are politicians going to learn that as long as there are users
there will be suppliers, no matter the consequences. Why don't they
focus on educating the young and treating the addicts?
It is the only viable use of funds. The war on drugs is and has
always been a losing proposition, unless of course you are using it
to placate uneducated constituents who don't know any better.
