'IF POT WERE LEGAL, THESE OFFICERS WOULDN'T BE DEAD'

It is politicians who have, through fear-mongering and propaganda about 
cannabis, put a relatively harmless substance on the prohibited-substance 
list since the 1930s.

And it is politicians who continue to distort the facts about cannabis and 
who are responsible for the huge black market, which is the direct cause of 
tragedies like the killing of four RCMP officers.

If pot were legal, these officers wouldn't be dead, because illegal 
grow-ops wouldn't have existed.

Their deaths were entirely avoidable. It's as simple and as tragic as that.
