FIGHT HURRICANES, NOT MARIJUANA

I wonder if the proponents of anti-marijuana laws in both Canada and the
U.S. realize that compared to the billions of dollars, countless hours, and
resources devoted to catching people like the Pot Prince, the aid (not just
monetary) given to the people of New Orleans is a joke.

How is it a town that would sink one day had less planning for the
inevitable than a typical pot bust? You can be sure that even if a fraction
of the resources used to catch people like the Pot Prince were used to plan
for a hurricane that they could see in weather photographs (weeks before it
happened), lives would have been saved.
