USELESS RAIDS

I don't understand the powers that be in Toronto. They raid pot 
dispensaries because they pose a danger to the public, yet at the 
same time are pushing for safe injection sites for heroin, coke, or 
whatever. Chief Saunders said there were concerns about the quality, 
potency and consistency of the pot found in the shops. Will he have 
the same concerns about the drugs used at the injection sites? Has 
Toronto learned nothing about the heavy-handed methods used by the 
police force? Remember the raids on Morgentaler's clinics and the gay 
bath houses and the G20 fiasco? What a complete waste of resources and time.

(No one is opening up safe injection sites in defiance of the law. 
So-called medical pot dispensaries were operating in defiance of the 
law. That's a pretty fundamental difference)
