FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE, REGULATE AND LEGALIZE IT

Re: Guns, Excess Pot Seized From Property Being Used To Grow Medical
Marijuana, Feb. 11.

Speaking as a retired law enforcement officer and one of the first
medical marijuana patients in Canada, the problem is not whether or
not people are selling their "prescriptions" (as has happened since
drugs were first medically prescribed) but whether the prohibition of
some of these drugs is causing more harm than good.

Prohibition is the problem here. If we end prohibition on all illegal
drugs including cannabis, there would be little if any reason left for
people to sell them. As long as these commodities are kept in the
street market, there will be more need for police, corrections and
jail guards to arrest and incarcerate those who choose to use them.
Convenient isn't it? Supporting a failed system of prohibition is not
the way our country should continue. Legalize and regulate all drugs
today.
