THE POT WAR

There are so many "definitive" comments being made on the subject of
marijuana - from the Bush nonsense - to the one that so many love:
Vancouver Mayor Larry Campbell's comment of a few weeks ago:
"Marijuana? Legalize it and tax the hell out of it."

However, much common sense there may be in that statement, it's
unlikely it would happen without a visit from the marines.

So, yes - that helicopter criss-crossing our island was indeed
searching for the deadly weed, with quite some success.

Global positioning satellites pinpointed outdoor grow-ops resulting in
several premature harvests. As yet we have not been advised of any
charges being laid.

The RCMP should not be faulted, they're doing what we pay them to do.
