DEFINE DRUG-FREE
Among the stated goals are making Delta a "drug-free community"
through a combination of public education and get-tough policing.
But that "drug-free community" won't include drugs like Red Bull,
booze, smokes, and all the other things that kill many times more
Canadians each year than all illegal drugs combined. "Drug free" means
the drugs that have been arbitrarily criminalized.
Ending prohibition is the only way to reduce the hassles caused by
prohibition. Your town is ruled by nincompoops. Take it back from them.
