Prohibitionists Are In Control Of The Border

[Ganjarden]

Who controls the U.S.-Canada border (Editorial: Crossing the line, The Times, May 24)?

Cannabis (marijuana) prohibitionists do, that's who. Cannabis prohibition is a discredited, failed and harmful government-subsidized discrimination program that should never have been allowed to start and should have ended years ago. Problems due to cannabis prohibition can only increase; nothing good will ever come from the nightmare. Nearly every study, including government studies, call for an end to the farce.

In the early 1970s, the Le Dain Commission's report along with Canada's 2002 Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs' report unanimously recommended to regulate cannabis the same way as alcohol.

Since Canada ignored those recommendations, the problems associated with prohibiting the relatively safe, socially acceptable, God-given plant cannabis have escalated. And it's not limited to Canada; look at what's happening in the U.S. and Mexico.

For decades, U.S. prohibitionists have spent billions to perpetuate reefer madness and millions of North Americans bought the crime. The only way to end the misdeeds is to finally end cannabis prohibition. It's time to treat cannabis prohibitionists like vampires.

There shouldn't even be a border between the US and Canada. What are we at war with Canada? I use to cross every night and what a pain in the ass. Get treated nice northbound get treated like shit on the US side.

It was that same , insane border that killed the budding Hemp industry we had started in Ontario. Due to a bunch of raw hemp being kept at the border and not allowed entry, even though it was a company in California who had contracted for the load, forced the people that started the enterprise to lose a big chunk of money. That stopped anything ele from happening here for many years, till a new hemp construction plant gets built in Eastern Ontario. We never had a local market(or a secondary market) for the hemp which shows that sometimes the eager beaver has his dam broken up if it is not built solidly, which that set of farmers should have had as a back up. A simple business plan should have had a back up plan for the first crops. Oh well, we can't cry over spilt milk. It is time to move forward.
