Lies about the harmful effects have not been borne out, yet we allow them to run the agenda. A social stigma that neither accurately reflects marijuana users nor the plant, has kept users underground. But today several U.S. states have decriminalized marijuana. Macleans magazine called for its legalization. A former B.C. attorney-general has weighed in on decriminalization. The B.C. Municipalities Association has called for the end to this nonsense of jailing smokers. Now is the time for all marijuana smokers to step out of the closet and sign the Sensible BC referendum in your area. There will be no better time than now. And it wouldn't hurt to bring a few friends. Klaus Nenn Nanaimo - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
