A LACK OF LEADERSHIP ON MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

I have done much more than write letters to the editor in my life.

Some of my best memories include launching my hang glider off Bastion 
Mountain in the early 80s flying across the lake after soaring for 
hours and then landing near the bar.

I know quite a few who lived in your neck of the woods, who have made 
fortunes through our government's policy of prohibition.-We 
laughed-at and profited from the stupid attitude of our leaders. They 
seem to lack the perspective and enhanced perception of marijuana users.

I flew under the influence throughout 27 years of soaring hang 
gliders and flying ultralights, making demanding timely decisions 
upon which my life depended.---

It would seem to me that our-leaders can't-even make a decision based 
on what is good for Canadians-indicated-by their history of poor performance.

I don't believe any of them could learn the critical-thinking skills 
involved in flying for more than 100 miles cross-country without power.

They can't see anything except their re-election and party loyalty
