A Misguided Sense of Justice

Re: Pot Growers Face More Jail Than Rapists, Sept.  23.

I read with disbelief the proposed criminal code changes that appear to suggest that the Canadian government thinks growing marijuana is equal to pedophilia.  I would rather have someone grow 1,000 pot plants than for them to harm a single child.  The U.S.  “war on drugs” has been a complete failure, and has contributed significantly to that country’s current dismal economic situation.  Why is our government dragging us down that dead end road?
