UNDERCUT CRIMINALS

Those outdoor plants RCMP seized last week in Marinette were just distractions.

Real marijuana is grown indoors with booby-traps, stolen power and illegal
immigrants to tend the crop.

Kids buy illicit drugs from organized networks of producers and distributors.
They have virtually unlimited resources to get to your children.

A God-given herb, instantly worth its weight in gold by making it illegal,
provides a tsunami of tax-free income.

When we re-legalize and regulate "drugs," as we do with alcohol and cigarettes,
organized crime will be undercut, dealers will require ID, and some 700,000
Canadians will be liberated from their "criminal" convictions.
