Users will get an unadulterated product that will not contain fentanyl, drain cleaner, etc. that criminals are lacing their illicit products with. Make it affordable. This will eliminate violent gang activity and save lives. Prohibition didn't make alcohol go away. It led to criminal fortunes, the proliferation of violence, pain, suffering, and destroyed lives. A medical approach to the drug problem is a win-win situation. Bruce Funk, Campbell River - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
