HAS THE TIME COME TO END POT PROHIBITION?

Re: Ex-mayors call for end to pot prohibition, Nov. 24

The way to stop the majority of violence which is associated with
prohibition is to end prohibition.

Murder rates declined for 10 years after ending the original
prohibition with alcohol and there's reason to believe ending the
sequel will have the same results.

That includes the plant cannabis (marijuana) but may or may not
include hard drugs. As long as the relatively safe plant cannabis is
prohibited, citizen have contempt for drug laws; not all substances
may need to be completely legalized to drastically reduce violence.

Statistics show a fast growing majority of Canadians and Americans
support completely relegalizing the plant cannabis. Ending cannabis
prohibition is one of the most important issues of our time.
