GOVERNMENT WILL PROFIT
I knew it was only a matter of time before our sly and cunning government
officials figured out a way to profit from this multi-billion dollar
industry while keeping marijuana illegal and while getting around that
whole justice system expense. Let's not worry about the "innocent until
proven guilty" adage or the day in court line! I'm sure judges across
Canada appreciate police officers taking care of this pesky, front line
drug enforcement issue for them. Just think. Police officers find Joe
Pothead guilty and issue a fine that allows Joe the opportunity to avoid
criminal proceedings by simply forking over some dough.
