GATEWAY THEORY JUST NOT TRUE

Apparently Staff Sergeant Ray Massicotte said that he's "heard all the 
arguments" and "yet to hear one good reason" why cannabis should be legalized.

Perhaps, as head of the Waterloo Regional Police drug squad, there is one 
compelling reason in his mind as to why drug prohibition should continue: 
Massicotte keeps his job.

Science certainly is not on his side: Staff Sergeant Massicotte's 
ridiculous claims, namely regarding the gateway theory and increased 
potency, have long ago been disproved.
