WON'T BE SILENCED
Marijuana users are determined to accomplish legalization, no matter
how long or what it takes to succeed. Despite the threat of arrests
and other punishments and sanctions, marijuana users have persisted
in their support for legalization for over a generation. They refuse
to give up their quest for justice because they believe in the
fundamental values of Canadian society.
Prohibition has failed to silence marijuana users. The issue of
marijuana's legalization will simply not go away. Marijuana will be
legalized because marijuana users will continue to fight for it until
we succeed.
Marijuana is not a lethal drug and is safer than alcohol. Marijuana
is not toxic to humans, overdoses are nearly impossible, and
marijuana is not nearly as addictive as alcohol or tobacco. It is
unfair and unjust to treat marijuana users more harshly under the law
than the users of alcohol or tobacco. I have started a petition at
