Finger pointing…
John Walters, the American drug czar, wearing his white hat points to Canada as the source of high potency marijuana that is doing damage to the U.S. war on drugs. We know that some marijuana grown in Canada is of high quality and is much desired by some Americans. Yet, Canada can only account for no more that 2% of the marijuana used in the U.S. The remaining 98% comes mainly from Mexico and from grow-ops within the United States. It is just too easy to point a finger at Canada.
If Canada is growing marijuana with a THC of 8 to 9%, and possibly as high as 20%, highly motivated Americans with their entrepreneurial abilities and technical skills are well into this “high quality” cultivation. He may speak of organized crime and Canada but we all know that the United States is a hot bed of organized crime, has been and will probably always be. If money is to be made at anything, Americans will be there. Organized crime knows no national boundaries. It is rampant in its growth around the world.
To return to the marijuana situation and treating it as a drug that is doing great damage to American citizens, the U.S. drug czar should put on his white hat and get on his high horse and look to the American South, South West and the West where there are serious problems with methamphetamines which are being injected and smoked to a high degree. Other drugs are being abused, for example, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, including morphine and heroin.
Yes, Mr. Walters, keep your nose in your own American business; surely you must be able to recognize that a big job needs to be done there! We know that you are perhaps only capturing 10% of drugs getting into the U.S. We in Canada know that we have a problem with grow-ops, and with drugs being smuggled in from the U.S.
America has waged wars on poverty but there are still many Americans who are poor. The war on drugs has been going on for quite some time with little success. Your war must continue; you have no choice. Pointing a finger at Canada does nothing to solve the problem of drugs in the U.S.
If both Canada and the U.S. would legalize the use of marijuana, I believe that there would be a significant and dramatic reduction in the use of hard drugs in the U.S.
I suggest, Mr. Walters that you get off your high horse and throw your white hat away!
