    I agree with you Mike and maybe it's because he has to sell drugs to pay for the high cost of living here. I am visiting from another province and to say that the cost off living is cheaper is so absurd that it is rediculous, and then to have companies come here and pay people less then other parts of Canada is showing what your Government is doing for you, absolutely nothing so sell the drugs and make a decent living.

    Why was my comment on this topic censored? This censorship has become rampant here at The Western Star for no apparent reason.

    sure ERAX, so I guess by your logic alcohol and tobacco must be perfectly safe for your body. how do some people become so outright brainwashed by this garbage? The war on drugs is a farce, and as far as money laundering is concerned just look up the term 'banksterism'.

    He would have taken the whole lot, over about a week. Prohibition never worked for alcohol and it is not work for other recreational drugs. The war on drugs has been lost a long time ago. If we made things illegal b/c they are harmful to the body then what happened to cigarettes, caffeine, alcohol, food preservatives, water additives, process foods etc. By that logic McD's should be banned, Organized crime is fueled via black market drug trade. Legalize drugs and you take the main source of income away from organized crime. Guess what would happen to the levels of drug use? NOTHING, absolutely nothing. Drug laws are asinine and cause far more problems than they fix. If you want to believe 1950's right wing propaganda, I can't change that, but to say it's illegal b/c it's bad for you ? Come on, we all know it's far more politically motivated than that.

      Good news. Contrary to much opinion, the war on drugs in this case kept these drugs out of other hands. The drugs are now off the streets. Drugs are harmful to your body, which is the reason they are illegal. And in places where drug laws have been relaxed, organised crime has moved in and laundered the drug money through their legal businesses.

      Erax, The thing is, contrary to your opinion, if there was no war on drugs and there was no law against against drugs, there would be 0% involvement of organized crime. Your feeding into the lies that we have been told since day one of the 'war on drugs". Lies that suit only one purpose, to preserve government SPENDING on the "war on drugs" budgets. Lies that are intended to keep the big wigs in their fancy offices by seperating you and I from our tax money.They got you, hook line and sinker, my friend.
