CENSORING POT
Re: Canada contributing to global drug trade, UN body says (Feb. 23).
According to the UN's International Narcotics Control Board, Canada
gets bad marks for tolerating the production of high-quality marijuana
and refusing to shut down cannabis-related Web sites.
Maybe the headline should have been, "Canada scores highly for
agricultural efforts and respect for human rights." Whether the INCB
approves it or not, many of us believe cannabis is a useful substance
and that its legalization ought to be freely debated -- on-line or in
Parliament, preferably both.
One wonders how much of Canada's financial contribution to the UN is
spent on this kind of sanctimonious finger-wagging. The International
Misleading Rhetoric Control Board ought to look into it.
