STOP THE POT PROHIBITION

Cannabis prohibition is one of North America's worst policy failures
in history (Canada's Pot Luck, Jan. 6); there's no legitimate reason
for Canada to continue it for another day.

Prohibition produces underground markets, cartels, increased hard drug
addiction rates, contempt for drug laws, eroded constitutional rights,
loss of freedom, escalated prison populations, corrupt politicians,
race discrimination, trillions of dollars in wasted taxes and the list
is growing faster than the plant itself.

The sooner Canada ends cannabis prohibition the sooner the sky will
stop falling in. A sane argument to continue cannabis prohibition
doesn't exist.
