CASE FOR DRUGS?

Ironically, Abbotsford police spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald's 
statement makes a strong case for the legalization and regulation of 
various substances.

MacDonald says: "I think what's important to remember is ecstasy or 
any illicit drug is not manufactured in a pharmaceutical plant. There 
is no quality control, there is no guarantee that what you think 
you're ingesting is, in fact, what you're ingesting. It's quite 
possible the drug could have been in varying amounts."

Unfortunately, prohibitionists would rather have people die and/ or 
go to jail, despite high consumer demand.
