MAKE IT LEGAL

IT DOES not look as if the law is preventing people from smoking
cannabis (ECHO July 21 and 22).

I think it's pretty apparent that we'd all be far safer if cannabis
was sold in legal stores to adults, just like tobacco and alcohol are
today.

We need legal adult cannabis sales for exactly the same reason that we
need legal alcohol and tobacco sales - to keep drug dealing criminals
out of our neighbourhoods and away from our children.

Cannabis must be made legal to sell to adults everywhere that alcohol
and tobacco are sold.
