On An Opinion Article of the First Annual Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy Meeting:


From the sound of the article makes you think that university students do nothing more than smoke up! One wonders whether the meaning is set up to get the 5 bucks from each student who has no intent on ever getting hooked on hard drugs. I have met a good sampling of them and they are keen in not inheriting parental debts and living off credit cards like adults do. They are not the addicts that authorities would like to imagine!!They have assignments to do and want to do positive things with their lives..Sounds like the war on drugs is a war on what politicians prefer to see as harmful when in fact anti-depressants are just as harmful when used in large quantities by unhappy students. Besides the fuzz is still keen on busting into homes which have a singular marijuana plant while cocaine bars get through major ports like Montreal and Vancouver on a major basis. I hope we don't go the way of the Americans on their lack of compassion and human rights over drug use because we are so busy selling our resources for cheap to them. Are we going to throw opportunities away from students because of a one-time offense in possessing weed?
