WANT TO SMOKE POT? LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

In response to your editorial Pot controls still needed (Aug.2).

Perhaps it's time for honest and open dialogue in this great country
of ours based on common sense, science, public health and human rights.

Perhaps it's time to look at cannabis usage from a Canadian
perspective and chart our own course on this divisive issue.

Perhaps it's time to ask, do our drug policies do more harm than good?

I applaud the decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal for it brings to
the forefront an issue that needs to be addressed for the sake of all
Canadians.
