This confirms what the Senate recently stated, that those who sell cannabis also sell hard drugs, and that this is the path from cannabis to hard drugs. The senators correctly concluded that the only way to sever that path is to relegalize cannabis. Bruce Symington Medicine Hat, Alta. (By that logic, why not legalize coke and heroin too?
