FEDS IGNORE OWN DRUG EXPERTS

Good for you, Tamara! Science does agree with you 100 per cent. So
does common sense.

Thirty-five years ago in 1972, the Le Dain commission and in 2002 the
special Senate committee published their drug studies that the
Canadian government asked and paid for no less. Both
government-funded drug studies stated stop prohibition of cannabis
due to the huge increase in the harms caused by prohibition.

People still living in the 1930 reefer madness era really need to see
both these drug studies paid for by our own Canadian government, the
same government that continues to ignore what they have been told to
do by their scientific drug studies.
