Editor,
Legalization of marijuana is a sad day for our country, province and community.
Our police are overworked, as a society we have huge mental health problems, addiction is rampant and now we make marijuana readily available so there are more issues to deal with.
We can’t tell our kids it is illegal.
We reap what we sow.

Many of the arguments Sandra makes against legalization are the same arguments made in favour of legalization. One could argue that legalization will prevent police resources from being wasted on low-level cannabis calls, while opioid users can readily access a less addictive and less harmful substance to address chronic pain issues. – Editor
