SENATE'S POT RECOMMENDATION SENSIBLE

To the editor:

As an American addiction psychiatrist, I highly praise the members of the 
Canadian Senate's committee on illegal drugs. They have recommended 
legalizing marijuana and regulating it via an integrated public-health 
policy. Their report is common sense, eloquently articulated by political 
leaders -- a rare and precious commodity in our troubled times.

I sincerely hope your country follows their recommendations, as my 
country's leadership on this issue qualifies it as certifiably insane. Good 
luck.
