REGULATE ALL ILLEGAL DRUGS

Re "Hash profits to terrorists: Cops," (July 15): I find it ironic that the
RCMP bemoans the fact that smuggled hash from overseas 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.
