OTTAWA'S WAR ON DRUGS BEHIND BURNABY'S MARIJUANA DISPENSARY
RAID?

Why has the Metrotown Medicinal Society been raided by the RCMP when
they--and the mayor of Burnaby --visited the establishment around its
opening and gave their approval?

I do not pay taxes so that our law enforcement can arrest people for
providing and/or consuming one of the most beneficial plants we are
blessed to have.

I suspect the push comes from the federal government, who we all know
has a certain religious ideology.

Now they are trying to demonize individuals who use cannabis. They
need people to fill up all the prisons they've been building I guess.
They've been trying to take away the tolerant attitude that Canadians
are known for having towards marijuana use and start a Canadian
version of America's failed "War on Drugs ."

Harper may represent the views and values of the people who voted him
in, but he does not represent the views of the majority of Canadians.
