Prohibition touches all Canadians. We all suffer from the loss of civil liberties, the increase in crime and violence, the high price of synthetic pharmaceutical drugs, the shame and fear and mistrust upon which prohibition breeds and feeds and thrives. We cannot fight this oppression if we are too frightened to admit that it affects us all. It is important and necessary for all Canadians to realize that they are victims of what is called the War on Drugs, and that it is up to them, up to you dear reader, to do something about it. Make no mistake about it, there is plenty you can do.
