POT SMOKE NOT GOOD FOR YOU

Dear Editor,

Canadian doctors report that all smoke is harmful, and that smoking
one joint is equivalent to ten cigarettes.

True to form, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair accuses the Conservative
government of attempting to recruit doctors "in their ideological
crusade against marijuana."

Mr. Mulcair cannot even face the scientific facts of physicians who
see the devastation of drug and alcohol abuse, or that the doctors can
think and speak for themselves.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau also disregards the CMA's warnings, and
wants Canada to be a test case for the effect on Canadian children of
legalizing cannabis.

The physicians in the CMA can tell them: all smoke is harmful,
especially for children.
