MARIJUANA SMOKERS AREN'T CRIMINALS

And so the Supreme Court of Canada has spoken, accepting the arguments of
federal prosecutors that there is "no free-standing right to get stoned" in
Canada (Editorial, Dec. 24, "Supreme Court right on pot").

While our legislators commonly get drunk and endanger lives, like our own
Hawaiian Punched Premier Gordon Campbell, or Alberta's Happy Hour Klein,
whose idea of fighting poverty is to throw rocks at it, it is illegal to
sit back and enjoy a non-violent, calming joint in the privacy of your own
home.

Given the choice, I'll take the "munchies" over driving around drunk and
looking for fights. Am I to tell my children that their father is a
criminal, my friends are criminals and their friends are criminals? All
because our government is too dumb to see, let alone read, the writing on
the wall?

When a law is ignored or broken by the majority of the people, the law must go.
