DRUG DEBATE CONTINUES

To the Editor:

I read with interest three letters in the April 4th edition of your paper.

They all debase the heartfelt letter written by Joyce Roth in the March 
28th edition. In her letter, Roth outlined her concerns about the dangers 
of drugs. Some of them from personal experience within her own family. 
Thank you Joyce for taking the time to warn the Canadian public about the 
devastating drugs, including the dangerous drug marijuana, which is 
available to our youth.

It appears that your warnings struck a raw nerve in the pro-marijuana 
apologist lobby. This resulted in the surfacing of the pro-marijuana "heavy 
hitters"with their "bafflegab".

Parents do you care what happens to our youth? Support your community and 
police in their effort to protect our youth.

Eric Myrholm, Abbotsford, B.C.
