The National Post has done it again. They have an absolutely fabulous bit of uninformed reefer madness propaganda. They rant on and on about the danger posed by growops run by gangs. And what is their solution to this problem, pray tell? To throw more money at this problem. Fill up the jails with gang-bangers. We all know how well that has worked in the US.
It drives me absolutely crazy to read this garbage. All you have to do to avoid the violence associated with grow-ops is to legalize pot. But such a simple, straight-forward solution is not embraced. Instead we force peaceful pot people to subsidize criminal organizations. Meanwhile, we have a provincial election going on and not a single one of our provincial leaders has the courage or the intelligence to do the one thing that would provide a huge blow to the problem of gangs and violence in this province - legalize marijuana.
