MAYBE NO ONE TOLD THE STORM TROOPERS THE CAFE'S DOORS ARE ALWAYS OPEN
With all the reports of sexual assaults and homicide lately, I am
infuriated that our precious crime-fighting funds and resources are
being wasted on something as unnecessary as raiding a pot cafe.
People need to stop worrying about Vancouver's reputation and start
thinking logically.
I would much rather have people in this city walking around stoned
than drunk, considering cannabis is far less troublesome than alcohol.
It's non-toxic, does not cause aggression or violent behavior and is
not physically addictive.
Why are we spending time and money attacking something that otherwise
wouldn't make the news when I can't feel safe walking in Stanley Park
for fear I'll be sexually assaulted?
