PROHIBITION FUELS BLACK MARKET

Will the Bush administration look upon the Canadians as evil-doers when the 
Canadians decriminalize marijuana?

I think the Canadian government is doing the logical thing and is further 
ahead in the fight against terrorism than the U.S. Prohibition of marijuana 
fuels the black market. Marijuana is the most sought-after drug in the 
world, and terrorists thrive from the money made off it.

The people of the United States are the number one consumers of marijuana 
and are, therefore, the biggest source of possible terrorist income. We 
must do away with marijuana prohibition in the United States. Let Canada 
lead us into a freer and safer world.
