SENATE SPACED OUT

An unelected Senate is the reason why a Senate committee has loonily
recommended the legalization of marijuana. Those appointed members from
patronage live in a dream world where the health and welfare of children
and teens mean nothing.

There are good reasons why pot is illegal, while tobacco and liquor are not:

1. The high potency of today's pot is not the mild stuff of the '60s.

2. Anyone can easily grow and process pot in their basements to make
profits, putting neighbourhoods at risk of fire and crime.

3. Criminals would take full advantages of legalization and sell home-grown
pots to kids, more cheaply and with higher potency than government
marijuana stores or the local grocers.

Criminals are not stupid, but they do appreciate anything to make their
life easier.
