TIME FOR CANADA TO STAND TALL ON POT LAW

After determining that a marijuana policy does more harm than good, a
democratic society repeals the bad laws and sets matters right. This means
ending marijuana prohibition.

The facts are in proving that a marijuana ban serves no useful purpose and
it's time for Canada to stand tall and do the right thing by ending a
destructive Reefer Madness policy.

If it means withdrawing from lunatic international treaties mandating an
idiotic drug war, so be it. Canada will be a better place and, contrary to
paranoid fears, the trade relationship with the United States and other
nations won't miss a beat. Americans are far too money-oriented to let a
disagreement over brain-dead marijuana laws have any effect on business.
