HEAD SHOPS NOT THE ISSUE

Closing stores that sell apparatus that can be used for smoking 
marijuana is ludicrous ( Support flies in for head-shop owners, Feb. 12).

Should we not allow stores to sell glasses? They might be used for 
drinking alcohol by minors. Better yet, should we stop sales of soft 
drinks? They might be mixed with liquor put into the glasses by those minors.

In an age where marijuana is being increasingly legalized, our 
province is moving backwards. A lack of head shops didn't stop drug 
use in the 1970s and won't stop it now.
