ANTI-POT LAWS TO BLAME RATHER THAN POT ITSELF

Re: 'Home invasion linked to drugs' (Daily News, Aug. 30)

So quick to blame it on the pot. I blame it on the law against it.

Since the United States started its war on illegal drugs, open your
eyes and see society crumble: Columbia, Panama, Central America and,
alas, Canada.

That's just the mess they have made of the Western Hemisphere;
they're working on Asia now. Why does a relatively young country
become bully of the world and preach its ideals to the old world?
Isn't that why they left England in the first place?

Back to the drug war: 6,000 dead in Mexico this year so far, only
because it is illegal.

Unless we legalize and control drugs like we do alcohol, this is the
future of Canada.
