ARE WE BEING TOLD THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT DRUGS?
Once again we have Stephen Harper cracking down on drugs. This
posturing as a solution to crime and drugs is more smoke and mirrors.
In one form or another, drugs have been around since the dawn of
time. Some, like marijuana, are weeds and will be around forever.
Canadians, like Americans, are fed the information our governments
want us to know.
Major crime organizations will do everything in their power to keep
drugs illegal.
Tobacco and alcohol are kept legal, even though they kill millions.
Both operations are motivated by one factor -- huge profits.
The debate over legal and illegal substances will go on forever and
provides good material for political debate.
I get the feeling we aren't being told the whole story.
