ACTOR'S DEATH A WAKE UP CALL FOR PRO POT POLITICIANS

To the editor:

After reading about that young man Cory Montieth's tragic death, it 
makes me wonder why Liberal leader Justin Trudeau would even consider 
making marijuana obtainable to anyone at any age.

What these policians will do to get votes is stressful enough when it 
shows that they do not care how many people (especialy our younger 
generation) are dying.

This young man started out at the age of 15  smoking marijuana and 
drinking. Then he got on to the harder drugs , which is what will 
happen once it becomes "legal."

Are we going to have a city full of "druggies" who will never be able 
to amount to anything?

Not only that, but think of the expence it will curtail on our 
healthcare system and that is something we do not need.

Anyone who thinks that it should be made legal should just think how 
his parents feel right now (they must be going through hell) and ask 
yourself if you are willing to go through this with someone in your 
family that you love.

Fifteen is young, but what if your 12 or 13 year old decides that it 
is "available " to him, then it must be OK to try it?

God help us.
