Garet Bonn of the Edmonton police said: "Our liquor laws don't allow anyone under 18 to drink in public, but here, we're noticing a lot of teens doing illegal drugs and I don't have the resources to do anything about it without starting a riot." That's because liquor is legal and pot is illegal, Sgt. Bonn. May I suggest if the good officer is genuinely concerned about this issue, then he take his head out of the sand and joins the calls to legalize this herb?
