LEGALIZE IT AND PEOPLE WOULD BE LESS ANGRY

With regard to your Marijuana Issue (NOW, April 14-20).

Marijuana should be legal. Scientists who use this drug as a tool
might one day find the cure for cancer. Marijuana would also make
Toronto a lot safer because people would be less angry.

I was attending an Argos football game at the Rogers Centre a while
back. Five police officers were carrying a drunk guy out of the
stadium, and as they passed me one officer said to the other, "You
don't see a guy who's high on marijuana beating up his wife."

A friend of mine from India who works as a computer programmer never
refers to marijuana as dope or weed. He calls it "enchantment."
