Re "Canucks going to weed" (July 9): Despite what drug policy expert Barry McKnight would have us believe, cannabis has never been proven to be dangerous or harmful. The only thing harmful about cannabis is its prohibition. If cannabis is so dangerous, why do millions of Canadians feel safe using it? If cannabis is so harmful why does Canada have a medical marijuana program? The Tories have a compulsive, habitual reliance on criminal sanctions to curb cannabis use. Hmm, sounds uncommonly like an addiction. ROSS REYNOLDS TORONTO (Keep toking) - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
