IGNORANCE GROWING

Dear Editor,

In the latest attack on the evil weed, Langley Township, by surfing
the wave of ignorance, is attempting to regulate hydroponic suppliers,
even forcing them to report suspicious activities to suppress
marijuana at its source [Council seeks Hydro aid, Mar. 11, Langley
Advance News].

Good luck! You might also want to look up our Charter of Rights.

In the hours, if not minutes, following the tragedy in Alberta, the
RCMP and self-serving politicians were hollering that grow ops were a
violent epidemic. The truth, of course, had little to do with their
paranoia. It took a public statement by the RCMP boss in Ottawa to
finally admit the obvious: pot had nothing to do with the event.

Happy Hour Klein is high and mighty about marijuana and its horrible
effect on mankind, but alcohol and ignorance have done far more damage
to the Alberta Premier's mind than pot could ever have.

A self-satisfying minority in our country still think pot should be
eradicated with SWAT teams and perpetuate the ridiculous myths that
surround the issue.
