THE RCMP ARE THE TERRORISTS

I found the July 15 story "Drug profits used to finance terrorists" ironic.
The RCMP bemoans the fact that smuggled hash may fund terrorists.

I've personally never been more terrorized than when armed RCMP officers
kicked in my door and threw me in jail for growing a flower known as
cannabis. Whether they admit it to themselves or not, police are acting as
the muscle for criminal elements that profit from the prohibition-created
black market.

To keep drug profits from ending up in the hands of overseas terrorists and
terrorists here at home, we must end the Dark Ages policy of prohibition
and begin the more intelligent policy of regulation of all illegal drugs.
