Marijuana Laws Are Offensive

In the March 31 article, "Prison term begins; Jason Ng admits to pot production" you start by saying "In most facets of his life, Jason Ng was a productive, upstanding citizen" and go on to imply that by growing marijuana he somehow made himself less than a productive, upstanding citizen.

It's sad enough that Ng apologized even though he had done nothing wrong. Since a majority of Canadians want marijuana legalized, the continuation of marijuana prohibition is a crime against democracy.

The fact that a majority of Canadians oppose the law should be mentioned in every article like this, because without that context, you are helping the law enforcement community continue the false pretext that people who grow, sell or use marijuana are actually the criminals, when it is, in fact, law enforcement and criminally collusive political parties who are committing a crime against all Canadians by keeping these laws in place.
