CANADA IS LIKE THE UNITED STATES' YOUNGER, SANER BROTHER
I have personally met Steve Tuck, Renee Boje and the Kubbys. They are
fugitives from the U.S. war on drugs but in no way are they "criminals."
It's time to stop the militarization of a medical issue and criminalization
of the chronically sick, terminally ill and chemically dependent. Canada is
like the United States' younger, saner brother. We were first to abolish
slavery and alcohol prohibition. The legalization of marijuana will be the
next hard moral lesson we will have to teach our bully brother to the
south. I pray that sanity will prevail.
