Re: Hazards of cannabis - Nov. 11 Thanks to Ron Wagner for his informative letter regarding marijuana. We taxpayers have spent billions of dollars through the government ads regarding the dangers of smoking. I have lost two members of my family to lung cancer, both heavy smokers of filter-tip cigarettes. The advertising has worked and very few cigarette butts litter our streets. However, when money is spent foolishly, a source of income must be found. The sale of marijuana will help. Lloyd Mundy Waterloo [end]
Re: Marijuana legalization Can you believe our Liberal government intends to legalize marijuana? Not for medical reasons, but simply to offer everyone a stimulant that becomes a stepping-stone to hard drugs. Do they really need the money from the growing, distribution and taxes from this ridiculous, toxic product? Fortunately at the next election, we can put in a government that hopefully will release how stupid this decision really is and cancel it. Lloyd Mundy Waterloo [end]
It has taken the public and the government years to persuade people to give up smoking. Now our prime minister is going to legalize marijuana. Please demonstrate some common sense. Obviously, he is looking at it from a financial point of view. Imagine the profits from growing it and, of course, the distribution of it. Not much thought is being given toward future damage to the health of our people or the problems it will create. This is the type of decision Trump would make. Lloyd Mundy Waterloo [end]
