CHRISTINA TOTH'S WORDS OF WISDOM ON POT LONG OVERDUE

Bravo to columnist Christina Toth for having the courage and good writing 
ability to say what is long overdue to be said about the need to legalize 
cannabis.

As Toth says, the only way to get the criminals out of the lucrative 
marijuana business is to decriminalize or, better yet, legalize it. She is 
absolutely correct when she says "prohibition of cannabis creates more 
crime, not less, yet that's what Conservative policies would perpetuate."

I hope the people in power will listen to the reasoning of Toth and what I 
know is the reasoning of umpteen thousands [or perhaps millions] of us 
throughout Canada.
