RE: COPS SHUT DOWN ELDERLY COUPLE'S BALZAC GROW-OP (Airdrie Echo, Sept. 23)

How low can prohibitionists stoop?

Even the dullest child could figure using Google that Cannabis is
Earth's most medicinally active and industrially versatile plant and
that the elderly couple busted with a measly 16 plants were growing
medicine.

Cannabis is by far the best medicine for the elderly. What a
despicable lack of respect they've been shown. We are a long way from
being a just society when we put the old, the sick or the infirm
through such stress.

Your story barely scratched the surface of the issue. I encourage both
the Echo and readers to challenge official lies and tyranny.
