DON'T SADDLE US WITH YOUR FEARS

Editor:

I don't know what Glenn Driedger has been smoking, but he should
change to cannabis and come to grips with reality (Faith Today, Nov.
22 Times).

The Dutch consume cannabis in levels much lower than Canadians or US
citizens. Any increase he notes when it semi-legalized was a
short-term phenomenon, just as it will be in our countries when it is
re-legalized.

Dutch teenagers are much less likely to use it because the forbidden
fruit syndrome has been removed and they think cannabis is something
boring that old hippies do.

People like Glenn are afraid of reality and the earth we live
on.

The rest of us don't need to be saddled with their fears and
phobias.
