Mood Enhancing Substances

As the Bill C-45 on Cannabis legislation is being debated in the Canadian senate, heated debate is continuing on accompanying legislation, Bill C-46 which will set out testing procedures and penalties for ''drunk-driving.'' John Conroy, prez. of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, known as NORML, said his critics don't understand how cannabis works. He said that many veteran dope smokers would be able to drive with regular driving skills because of their bodies' greater tolerance. However, he added that we would have to be concerned about novice users and intermittent users.

 Andrew Murie, the head of the Canadian branch of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, said, ''He is full of crap! The main marijuana law will place the drug in the hands of untold more Canadians some of whom will doubtlessly smoke or bake it and get behind the wheel.'' 

That there will be problems cannot be doubted, and so can another thing, that it would be far better to live in a society where people won't feel a need for any artificial stimulation for mood-enhancing substances to feign we are not living in a crappy society constantly shaking us down for profits.
