Prohibition, not cannabis, is causing the violence and misery, and the blame falls squarely on the U.S. war on drugs. Marijuana is imported into the U.S. because its citizens cannot get enough of it. As long as there is a demand, someone will find a way to supply it. The war on drugs is over, and the prohibitionists have lost. Russell Barth Ottawa - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
