WITHOUT MARIJUANA THERE WOULD BE NO DRUG WAR 

YOUR EXCELLENT article revealed to Canada the criminalization of MORE
THAN 600,000 Canadians for using a herb which has been shown to be
more harmless than alcohol or tobacco, and which helps many sick
people feel better.

This is a huge waste of resources, and proves that Mike Gray, in his
drug war expose book, Drug Crazy, was right: without marijuana
offences, there would be no drug war at all, so the "drug" they are
battling with might and main is really a medicinal herb that was not
understood and got on somebody's hate list. Anyone who was ever
charged with a marijuana offence should be immediately pardoned,
released and apologized to the sooner the better.
