Dear Editor of the Valley Echo, Isn't there a conflict of interest when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police give a one-sided presentation of cannabis? The likelihood of Staff Sgt. Marko Shehovac honestly talking about the history of cannabis is almost nil. For example, will the presentation include how cannabis prohibition originated because of greedy corporate interest, along with race discrimination interests, and should have never been prohibited from the beginning? Will Shehovac divulge that in over 5,000 years of documented use there is not one dead body to show cannabis has ever caused cancer while cigarettes kill over 1,000 North Americans daily? If truth be told, cannabis prohibition would end immediately. All citizens will get from the RCMP is lies, half-truths and propaganda regarding cannabis. Truthfully, Stan White Dillon, Colorado - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
