Queen's Bench Justice Alan MacInnes may scoff at Chris Buors' assertion that victims of cannabis oppression can claim the same status as Nelson Mandela. But a closer look shows some truth to this claim. We are now witness to a poll that shows almost 60% of Canadians want regulation like alcohol. So on behalf of the majority of Canadians I would like to say we do not scoff at Chris Buors. We scoff at the sentence imposed by Justice Alan MacInnes. Chuck Beyer Port Alberni, B.C.
