One big joke
By: J. Felker, Toronto Sun, 01/15/04

RE BARRIE pot bust: In a nation where our elected politicians feel it is perfectly acceptable to profit from the sale of drugs such as booze and smokes, I find it rather ironic that these same politicians are so shocked and appalled that someone else would take it upon themselves to do the same by growing and selling pot. Apparently it's okay to sell drugs and run gambling houses just as long as you are elected to do so. It's no small wonder the general public is treating this whole affair as one big joke - because it is. I wonder if they got start up capital from the HRDC.
