THINK DOPE IN THE BALLOT BOOTH
Support for regulation of pot like alcohol is the highest in B.C. and
Quebec. In B.C. 50 per cent have used marijuana and 60 per cent
support regulation and taxation.
In view of this, an attack our civil liberties through B.C. Hydro is
not the solution. The solution is to pressure the feds for regulation
and to vote for a B.C. political party that will support this.
The B.C. NDP has recently adopted a resolution calling for regulation
of marijuana in the fashion of alcohol.
One other measure citizens can take is in the event they are called
to jury duty. If you are a juror in a marijuana trial -- vote to
acquit whether it is trafficking or growing. This would force all
levels of government to regulate and cease their attack on our civil liberties.
