POT TAXES

Re "Ontario government wants role in pot distribution" (Shawn
Jeffords, July 13): Let's cut through the political spin here. Premier
Wynne is salivating over the expected billions from pot sales to feed
her insatiable spending addiction.

We know the abysmal job this government has done keeping organized crime 
out of cigarette distribution, many finding their way to our children, 
along with illicit alcohol.

Anyone who thinks organized crime will not become involved growing and 
selling pot is living in fantasyland. Parents should be very concerned 
about their children getting involved in this highly damaging drug to 
young developing brains!

thriving cigarette-smuggling industry in Ontario)
