| RE: "Come On, Just Legalize It!" by Amy Steele, Books, July 13 to July 19, 2006."
Amy Steele’s article ends with the question: "So why are we even debating whether or not to legalize it?" The answer is: because the government wants it this way.
By refusing to regulate marijuana production and sales, our government is not only deliberately subsidizing criminals, they are also knowingly making pot easier for kids to access than either tobacco or alcohol. They waste valuable police resources and billions of dollars annually, deprive Canadians of a source of valuable medicine and about $3 billion in annual tax revenue.
This leads me to wonder just which side of the law these so-called conservatives are on.
