No good reason exists not to legalize marijuana

Re: Is the U. S. High on Legalizing Pot? (May 12)

"And our medical pot regulations are so complex -- thanks to the constant tug of war between the government and the courts over how the scheme should be run -- that no one really has a clue how it's supposed to work."

It should also be noted that Health Canada (who manages the medical marijuana license department) has repeatedly, brazenly, violated court orders, and the whole program has been ruled "unconstitutional" by at least four judges.

If the public knew what we Medical Marijuana License Holders know about the Health Canada fiasco, the tide of public opinion would shift hard in favour of legalization. But public opinion should not even factor into this because the public is so miserably misinformed on this topic that their opinions are useless. Legalizing marijuana is simply the right thing to do, and all science and history supports this.
