POT HEADS SHOULD GROW UP

Editor;

Regarding the marijuana cafe on Commercial Drive, drug dealers should
never be entitled to $65,000 tax-free from profits on their premises
while our impoverished health system is run dry.

Why is it drug dealers are applauded by the public while RCMP are
heckled trying to keep Vancouver from being overrun by criminal
activity? Vancouver's crime rate and population continue to rise, and
it's time for decent people who don't smoke or deal drugs to also take
a stand.

I support our RCMP. People who have a prescription to use pot have a
legal right to use marijuana. But for the majority of stone heads
trying to intimidate RCMP, drive under marijuana influence, corrupt
minors, and deny the fact marijuana is a harmful drug, why don't you
do something useful like volunteer at the hospital or clean-up the
environment?

It's time for the Fraser Valley area to grow up. No way is Canada
anything like a police state just because we don't want criminals in
the neighborhood.
