DRUG LAWS RAISING ARMY OF LIBERTARIAN CHILDREN

RE: "THE bong show," by Paul Stanway, March 13. There are more people using
marijuana in Canada today then there ever have been. How can this be when
prohibition was supposed to save all the children? Tell me why so many
teenagers in Canada smoke pot. This is the real problem, one prohibition
cannot address. The developing brains of teenagers should not be subject to
large amounts of psychoactive substances. These guys are going to be
looking after you when you are old, remember. The lies and ineptitude of
police and government to children about drugs destroy their credibility
with these kids when they become teenagers. This is effectively raising an
army of libertarians who have no problem with the idea that government
should not have the right to dictate how you self-medicate. The moral
condemnation of drugs also exasperates the problem. The Netherlands has
impressively low teen use rates. Marijuana culture is entrenched in our
culture. Pushing it further is only going to make its roots grow. Smarten up!
