MARIJUANA: PROHIBITION NO SOLUTION EITHER

Dear Editor,

Rob Wilton [Legalization is no solution, April 11 Letters to the Editor, 
Langley Advance News] theorized that "People who think legalizing marijuana 
is a solution to anything," such as our Special Senate Committee on Illegal 
Drugs, "can't see past their habit."

Cannabis has been prohibited in Canada since 1923. Quite obviously 
prohibition is not a solution to anything either, unless Wilton is 
proposing we give it another 80 years to show beneficial results.
