IGNORE THE REEFER MADNESS
Editor:
Re: Whatever happened to the pot debate? Thomas Barker, Barking at
the Big Dog, Houston Today, Jan. 25.
Rather than continue to subsidize organized crime, Canadian
policymakers should ignore the reefer madness hysteria of the U.S.
government and instead to look their own Senate for guidance.
In the words of Senator Pierre Claude Nolin: "Scientific evidence
overwhelmingly indicates that cannabis is substantially less harmful
than alcohol and should be treated not as a criminal issue but as a
social and public health issue."
