He [Colonel Robert Maginnis, a U.S. government adviser on drug policy] says the bush administration is alarmed by a recent Senate study that says Canada’s marijuana laws are ineffective. [story on canada.com]

Hah! Show me one study that says U.S. marijuana laws *are* effective.

I think this is a fantastic move on the part of Canada. We tariff soft woods, they legalize marijuana. That sounds like fair retaliation to me. We are now threatening "trade sanctions." Gee, we already put in some of those for *no* reason, so why should the Canadians feel threatened?
