POT LAW COULD SPROUT WOES: ACTIVIST

OTTAWA -- The federal government will create a higher demand and larger
black market for pot with its proposed marijuana law, a former lawyer and
marijuana activist said yesterday.

Rick Reimer, one of 600 Canadians given special status to legally smoke
pot, also said the new law gives police too much discretion.

Canadian Police Association vice-president Mike Neibudek admits
decriminalizing possession of small amounts of pot could open the door to
similar rules for other drugs.

Asked if it's a slippery slope, Neibudek said:"Yes, it is."
