MEDIA INFILTRATED?

Why is it that the marijuana elite has been able to so effectively 
infiltrate the media, nowhere more apparent than with The Province's 
editorial Thursday on cannabis?

Ninety-one per cent of Canadians do not use marijuana and they must 
be concerned about the high rates of use by youth and the 
consequences of pot use before brain maturation at age 26. Why the 
reporting of the scientific findings are lagging the pot lobby's 
propaganda is the real story you need to be writing about.

To promote the idea that pot is relatively safe is beyond irresponsible.

With Canada leading the western world in kids using marijuana, every 
effort should be made to reduce acceptance of this drug.
