NEW DRUG LAWS WILL FAIL
The proposed drug-law reforms are designed to fail.
In fact, they are designed to exacerbate the proliferation of harder street
drugs.
The problem is not the cannabis consumer.
This halfway measure of decriminalizing the consumer addresses none of the
fundamental problems or root causes of drug use and abuse.
Canadians should be asking their politicians and police why they stubbornly
continue to support a counter productive "prohibition" that causes more
crime, proliferates the disease of addiction and even helps to support
terrorism against the free world.
