HANDS OFF GRASS!
Canadians should tell the United States government to mind their own
business with regards to marijuana. The U.S. has no business telling other
countries to violate the rule of law to keep marijuana a political crime.
For the American courts to put people in jail for political reasons
violates due process of law and the United Nation's Declaration of Human
rights.
To violate fundamental rights due process requires a compelling state
interest. The U.S. does not have one because the classification of
marijuana as a schedule I drug is arbitrary. Marijuana is safe to use under
medical supervision.
