NIP CANADA'S WEED PROBLEM AT ITS ROOT

Editor, the Times:

In his letter 'The seed was planted back on page one' (Times May 4)
Stan White writes in part; "Plant prohibition leads to gangs". Why
should the law abiding public have to accommodate criminals and
criminal activity?

To get the criminal element out of the drug trade, I would suggest
that the only way is for Canadians to stop buying drugs.

Would this not cancel out the profit motive? No customer, no sale, no profit!
