FUMING OVER POT BURNERS

To The Editor:

Regarding the story where the RCMP says the public has helped them
take 23,000 plants out of circulation, 'J' Division RCMP Staff Sgt.
Gary Cameron is an ill-informed ideologist cop!

'If' marijuana is harmful, then why is this non-toxic medicinal herb
improving and extending the lives of thousands of chronically ill
Canadians who are legally licensed by Health Canada to use it for
medicinal reasons?

I am one of them since March 2000, and let me tell you that if it
wouldn't have been of marijuana, I would have died some time ago.
There are millions of marijuana users in Canada, so why aren't our
hospitals filled with marijuana users if it's harmful? How many died
because of marijuana?

And the social problems caused by marijuana are to be blamed on its
prohibition! Sgt. Gary Cameron should educate himself about the dozens
of medicinal benefits of marijuana instead of propagating such garbage.
