This policy has subsidized the underground economy, wasted valuable and scarce police resources, deprived Canadians of a valuable source of medicine and tax revenue, started a street war in Toronto, while making marijuana easier for kids to get than either alcohol or tobacco. The Tories would not only continue with this policy, but would increase efforts and spending, likely resulting in even more misery and death. It would also increase the dealers' profits. It sounds to me like both parties are in cahoots with "organized crime." Russell Barth Former Marijuana Party Candidate Ottawa - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
