WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE DELAYS TO GOV'T EFFORTS TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

Re: Police want date pushed back on legalizing pot, Sept. 20

The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police insists it needs more
time to adapt to cannabis legislation. Well, too bad for the chiefs.

The Liberals have been in power for close to two years, medicinal
cannabis has been around for even longer and models from other
jurisdictions (Holland, Portugal, etc.) have long matured.

More delays mean more otherwise unnecessary criminalization,
imprisonment and benefits for violent gangs. Legalization is long
overdue and prohibition's time is up.
