POT PROPAGANDA UNPALATABLE
Editor, The Echo;
Re: Pot cons and pilferers, Jan. 11
You seem to approve of Pincher Creek RCMP's "friendly warning" that
marijuana is illegal.
This is outrageous. You should have included some input from those who
oppose the law. Lacking this, the item becomes mere propaganda.There is no
more reason to punish drug users or sellers today than there was in the
past to hang witches, lynch blacks or gas Jews. No doubt if your newspaper
had been in business in Nazi Germany you would have welcomed the Gestapo's
friendly warning that Jews had no rights under the law.
