Do it on either side. Don't do it on the boats. Mitchell Smyth, North Vancouver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The government just needs to get off its butt and legalize the stuff. William James, Langley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The police should not be allowed to be on the ferries searching for marijuana. One study suggests 50 per cent of Canadians smoke pot. What's the point of being on the ferry searching for a quarter ounce on this guy and a half ounce on that guy? There's no point. Even if they bust every grow-op in the Lower Mainland, there will be twice as many in three months. Go and bust some real criminals. Mike Hick, Langley - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
