IT'S LEGAL OR IT ISN'T

The Journal's Aug. 8 editorial "Seed seller was aware of risks," (Aug. 8) 
states, "Canada is in the slow process of decriminalizing marijuana 
possession, although not its production or sale."

What does that do except create lawlessness?

Former U.S. president Richard Nixon said "you can't have marijuana 
half-legal and half-illegal." It's either illegal and you enforce the law, 
or you change the law and have marijuana taxed and regulated.

Do Canadians want to show the U.S. government their sovereignty? Then 
legalize marijuana. This American stands with you. Or are you just our colony?
