BLACK MARKET POT

Re: 'Feds should delay legalizing pot,' Dec. 6.

I'm sure Premier Brian Pallister means well. However, cannabis
(marijuana) usage and sales are not going to wait for delays.
Pallister's message then must be acknowledged as informing consumers
to continue purchasing cannabis from the black market while government
takes additional time to create a regulated legal market to replace
it.

And that's perfectly fine; North Americans have grown accustomed to the
increased efficiency of the black market for the last eight decades.
