CANNABIS AND CONSERVATISM

I agree with NORML Canada executive director Marc-Boris St. Maurice
that to proceed on the noble path of ending the marijuana prohibition
in Canada, it's wise to limit cannabis commerce to domestic
transactions. However, I also feel that great lenience should be shown
toward Mr. Baghdadlian and his crew this time given the horrific
immorality of this particular prohibition.

In spite of the present Conservative-led parliament, I hope that
Canada ends prohibition very soon. The harsh judgment of history will
hold the U.S. government liable for its inhumanity in this matter--and
a growing number of other ones.
