‘Hempsters’ know the score

Dear Editor:

1 am writing this letter in regard
to A.P.McCredie’s May 7 article
about us ‘‘pic-eyed soldiers.”

I was actually quite stunned at
your somewhat open-minded arti-
ele. Amazingly enough, you men-
tioned that hemp was a renewable,
natural resource,

But, as usual, the focus was
again on the ‘‘stoners’ at the
April 23 rally.

You stated that few knew about
the environmental benefits and
that they just wanted to ‘go into
a 7-11 and buy some joints for
the hockey game."

You, sir, are completely wrong.

Most, if not all, ‘thempsters’’

now know about the
potential (paper, fuel,
food...) of cannabis.

Besides, you're completely miss-
ing the point.

If we don't make some drastic
changes in our lifestyles, very
quickly, then our species, among
others, will become extinct. Dead.
Gone. Understand?

Now gct realistic. We know that
hemp can sustain our future. So
doesn't it make sense to you to
utilize it to its full potential?

And as for marijuana, use will
go down, as has been proven in
many parts of the world.

You say ‘‘we = already
enough taxes.”’ I totally agree.

Trying to protect sanity

Dear Editor:

My heartfelt thanks on your ed-
itorial, ‘“Tube terror," as it has
aud will have a great influence an
our children’s minds.

Our petitions to Mulroney do
not seem to hive made an impact.

Also your May 8&8 paper has
restored my faith in my fellow
man, as your editorial Ietters by
Sutton, Patrick and Powell are
excellent and right to the point.

My thanks to Doug Collins for

RD AEIUIL IN

having intestinal fortitude to con-
tinue to enlighten the public.

I have cancelied my subscription
to the Sun and Province; 1 do not
need sensationalist,

Tie North Shore News is suffi-
cicnt as it covers all aspects of to-
day's world.

No, I'm not playing ostrich —
just trying to protect my sanity,

Mahe your move.

And what is our government

on futile enforcement of the most

never been directly linked to one
