TIME TO GO TO POT

Re: "Is U.S. high on pot legalization?" (Mindelle Jacobs, May 12.) It 
should also be noted that Health Canada (which manages the medical 
marijuana licence department) has repeatedly, brazenly, violated 
court orders, and the program has been ruled "unconstitutional" by at 
least four judges. If the public knew what we medical marijuana 
licence holders already know about the Health Canada fiasco, the tide 
of public opinion would shift hard in favour of legalization. But 
public opinion should not even factor into this discussion because 
the public is so miserably misinformed their opinions are useless. 
Legalizing marijuana is simply the right thing to do, and science and 
history supports this.
