POLICE SHOULD 'STAND DOWN' ON POT SHOPS

Considering Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's mandate - to Justice 
Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould - to begin the process of legalizing 
and regulating cannabis in Canada, isn't it time for RCMP to put a 
moratorium on investigating cannabis dispensaries ("Pot shops stand 
firm after visit from cops," Dec. 3)?

The institution of policing must accept cannabis prohibition is 
practically over.

Discriminating against citizens, including sick citizens, who choose 
to use the relatively safe, extremely popular God-given plant is on 
its last leg and should not be tolerated by civilized society any longer.

Stand down.
