BLAIR IN A FOG OVER MARIJUANA

Re: Pot laws will still be enforced: Blair, Feb. 25

Bill Blair got it wrong. We are a nation of lawyers and their
self-serving laws. This is why it has become a complex issue.

It would indeed be interesting to know under the Freedom of
information Act how many taxpayer dollars have been spent on
enforcement, studies, task forces, federal lawyers and experts since
the Le Dain Royal Commission of Inquiry in 1970.

Ottawa's suits need to take off their jackets and pull up their pants
and get to work like our American friends to the south who have had no
trouble changing the laws in favour of legalization, one state after
another.
