READERS THINK THERE ARE WORSE CRIMES THAN SELLING A BIT OF POT

Glad to hear we've finally solved Vancouver's scourge of high property
crime and youth violence so we can dedicate 30 police officers to the
task of shutting down a business that sells a product that has been
proven to be virtually harmless.

Polls indicate the majority of Canadians support either legalization
or decriminalization of pot. When are our elected and appointed
officials going to recognize this, and stop wasting time and resources
persecuting responsible adults who want little more then to enjoy a
quiet smoke (and maybe a little pizza) in peace?
