PRAISE FOR SENATE

RE "Going to pot," (editorial, Sept. 5): This editorial is quite correct
that it is time to begin a serious debate on the reform of cannabis laws.
The criminalization of cannabis has filled jails with otherwise law-abiding
citizens, inspired government disdain among youth and made organized crime
extremely rich.

The Senate deserves nothing but praise for suggesting such a wise and
pragmatic policy reform. Whether or not you agree with the Senate's report,
it is without a doubt that an examination of existing legislation is in order.
