CANADA: LEGALIZE MARIJUANA, SENATE PANEL SAYS
A Senate committee issued a report recommending that the government
legalize marijuana for users over the age of 16 and be responsible for its
distribution. The 600-page report concluded that the drug is less harmful
than alcohol and that people who use it should not be considered criminals.
The Canadian police association denounced the conclusion as "a
back-to-school gift for drug pushers."
