WHAT'S HE SMOKING?
Victoria -- Re Parliamentary Committee To Recommend New Pot Law (Dec.11):
Randy White, Alliance vice-chairman of the Parliamentary committee on the
use of non-medical drugs, estimates 30 grams of marijuana to be worth $50
to $80 -- an amount he considers too high.
Too high? More like the sale of the century!
As many Canadians can attest, typical prices for an ounce of pot (28 grams)
range from $200 to $240. That the vice-chairman of a parliamentary
committee and a vociferous critic of recreational drug use is so laughably
out of touch ought to make us question the validity of his committee's
research and conclusions.
Thirty grams for $80 -- dude, you've been sold some bad dope.
