PROHIBITION HELPS FOSTER UNTRUTHS

(Re: "Police, Rotary share vision" in the March 17 edition of the Examiner)

OPP Deputy Commissioner Chris Lewis said, in regards to marijuana
that: "Most of it is exported to the U.S. and comes back ( in return
) as cocaine or guns."

True enough. But prohibition is the cause of -- not the solution to
- -- this problem.

But cops will never admit that because prohibition assures that
their jobs, powers, and budgets, will continue to grow.

They literally ignore all the science and history on the subject,
and insist that only more prohibition can save us from the problems
caused by prohibition.

But as they say, when the only tool you have is a hammer, every
problem looks like a nail.

The sad part is how easily the Canadian public is bamboozled into
believing this prohibitionist balderdash.

The media is to thank for that. They have been helping cops lie to
the public for decades.
