MAKE IT LEGAL!

Re: Justice Minister Alison Redford. There is a simple solution to the problem of
marijuana funding gangs. Make it legal! Perhaps Redford should shut her mouth for a
second and do a little research on the legalization of marijuana in the Netherlands and
its effects on usage, regulation and taxation. Or perhaps look at the surveys that say
the vast majority of Canadians support marijuana legalization. The last time I checked,
this is our country, isn't it? There is more to the marijuana question than the ancient,
Americanized and simply pathetic rhetoric than what Redford would pretend to have us
believe.
