EASY FOR TEENS TO BUY MARIJUANA

This is in response to a letter from Andy Chiasson of Portage la
Prairie (May 30). Some people don't get it. So let's enlighten them.

It is much easier for a teenager to buy marijuana on the black market
than it is to walk into a liquor store and buy alcohol.

Not to mention that if it were legal and regulated, you probably
wouldn't have the cashier say to you "I have some heroin, LSD, crack
and ecstasy under the counter if you'd like to try some?" like the
drug dealer does with another pocket.

If you think about it, virtually all naturally occurring
drugs/medicine are illegal, while most manmade synthetic drugs are
legal, no matter how many side-effects they may have.

You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that manmade drugs
are patentable and the huge globalistic pharmaceutical conglomerates
can control (profit from) one and not the other, do you?
