OR A CRIMINAL?

Re: An Open Letter To Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, Karen Selick, Jan. 2.

A "Canadian Hero" is a soldier in Afghanistan, not Marc Emery -- he's
a criminal and should be treated as such. Since when does paying taxes
on earnings from selling illegal drugs constitute heroism? Since when
does contributing money to "sponsor conferences and protests" to
legalize marijuana constitute heroism?

Until such time as there are in-depth studies of the long-term effects
of smoking marijuana I want it to remain illegal, and those who break
the law, jailed.
