LEGALIZING DRUGS IS WRONG ANSWER

Prohibition did nothing. Abolishing the death penalty did nothing but
cause more deaths.

Stopping cigarette smoking in public helped - but now you want to add
the putrid smell of marijuana to our air?

We do not need drugs, recreational or any other substance. Would the
candidates who think this would be alright be willing to add another
hole to their head and not be airheads, so their wasted thinking could
be more resourceful and contribute more to a healthier attitude?

Decriminalizing drugs should not be allowed in Canada, nor should
substance abuse.

Legalization will not control our children in using drugs or any other
substance. We need to prohibit the use and be accountable for that so
our children can be raised in a drug-free community. That should be a
target for our children and grandchildren and a priority for all
candidates to make Canada greater.
