WAR AGAINST DRUGS IS SELECTIVE

To the editor:

Re: American efforts to extradite Marc Emery. (Editor's note: See related 
story page A9.)

Why should seeds made by God be such a big problem? Alcohol, tobacco and 
pharmaceuticals are the biggest backers of the war on some drugs that might 
compete with them. It is obvious that our (U.S) drug policy is not about 
the well being of the individual but about corporate or physician profits. 
In today's climate we are much safer growing a natural herb garden.

Our present system causes more violence, pain, suffering and death than the 
drugs themselves and is destroying all that America once stood for.

Leaders responsible for promoting our present nonsensical policy will 
answer to a higher power for their crimes against humanity.
