ENFORCEMENT IS THE ANSWER

If Larry Campbell thinks legalizing marijuana is the answer to the drug
problem, then he must be smoking too much of the stuff himself to think
clearly.

Firstly, marijuana is bought and sold in an underground marketplace so
extensive that having legal outlets for it will effectively be moot.

Secondly, even if it is legal, what incentive will its users have to
purchase it from legal sources, where they can be monitored and taxed?

Thirdly, legalizing pot won't work, because the same basement and backyard
growers who feed this multi-million dollar industry will undersell the
government's legalized price in order to keep profits in their own hands.

Having "legal marijuana" will only advertise to the world that Canada is a
nation of pot-smoking complainers who are too afraid to enforce anti-drug
laws for fear of being mistaken for having a backbone.

Wake up. Recognize that we wouldn't have a drug problem here if we did
something truly unheard of and actually enforced the law.
