END POT PROHIBITION

Re: Wait for smoke to clear on pot - Jan. 3

Arguments can be made both for and against ending prohibition,
however, a sane argument to continue cannabis (marijuana) prohibition
doesn't exist.

Cannabis prohibition is one of North America's worst policy failures
in history.

Cannabis prohibition is responsible for increased hard drug addiction
rates, contempt for drug laws, eroded constitutional rights, escalated
prison populations, corrupt politicians, and race discrimination and
costs trillions of dollars.

The sooner Canada ends cannabis prohibition, the sooner the sky will
stop falling in.
