STOP DRUGS OR LEGALIZE THEM
If the Vancouver port police force was reinstated with a focus on
stopping illegal goods as well as drugs, it would put an enormous
dent in the B.C. drug trade.
If we don't get serious about stopping the drug flow, then drugs
should be legalized, and we should tax the hell out them.
Anything else, including more funding for local police, is just a
band-aid solution akin to plugging a hole in a dam with a piece of chewing gum.
Let's either keep the profits for our legal citizens or give the
police a fighting chance of getting a handle on this.
