POT ON DISPLAY, TOBACCO KEPT HIDDEN

Re: "Legalized pot sales could fund addiction programs," Dec. 18.

I find it ironic that marijuana samples for sale in dispensing stores 
are clearly visible to anyone who goes inside, to purchase or look, 
yet tobacco products are kept hidden behind black curtains or 
underneath the counter in a convenience or grocery store.

Furthermore, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau states that taxes from 
marijuana sales will go toward helping people with addictions. So 
first we get them hooked, then spend tax money helping with their addiction.

The world is turned upside down.
