Yves Lacasse'): With great respect to Kamloops RCMP Insp. Yves Lacasse, I disagree with his opinion on marijuana. My father and brother were RCMP officers, so I have great respect for all law enforcement and know they have a tough job. Organized crime is connected to marijuana because marijuana is illegal. Education, regulation and taxation would hurt organized crime and make everyone safer.
