LEGALIZED MARIJUANA WOULD BRING TAXES

Re: "Don't criminalize medical marijuana" -- May 10.

I agree the Canadian government should legalize marijuana because
people who need the drug for medical uses will have an easier time
obtaining the it.

Also, I think it would be a good way for the government to make money,
because they would charge taxes. I think marijuana would sell in
amounts like cigarettes.

I saw a poll recently on the news that suggested more than 50% of
Canadians who participated voted yes to legalizing the drug.
