LEGAL POT

Doctors, mayors, politicians, police and over 50 per cent of the
population know marijuana must and will be legalized and regulated.

A sane or rational argument to perpetuate one of North America's worst
policy failures in history doesn't exist.

Cannabis prohibition causes increased hard-drug addiction rates,
crime, erosion of human rights, contempt for laws and does nothing
productive. Nothing.

It's time to remove the obstacles (read politicians) that stand in the
way of ending the historically discredited war against the God-given
plant.

Right now, cannabis is regulated by the black market and until that
changes, crime rates will only increase.

Ending cannabis prohibition is one of the most important issues of our
time.
