DRUG RAIDS ARE NOT THE ANSWER

Regarding the recent drug bust at the former Molson plant:

I suppose the cops are on the verge of getting this whole drug problem
under control, eh?

Please, spare me this spin-meister idiocy. The cops are lucky if they
touch five per cent of the illicit drug activity occurring, and that
has not changed in over a century. Hey, look at my country spending
$100 billion dollars per year at all levels of government targeting
street drugs.

We sure are experiencing success too, with a nice methamphetamine
epidemic sweeping our nation.

It's a stupid news story, crops numbering over 50,000 plants occur in
my country's national forests every year, and most go undetected.

The only thing I see is a media committed to printing the most inane
ignorant drug policy analysis they possibly can.

Every single major drug policy study ever done has recommended
decriminalization, most legalization of marijuana -- all of them, for
a century. None of them recommend police targeting street drugs for
success.

Perhaps your staff needs to review the Le Dain Commission Report, then
perhaps you can editorialize intelligently.
