Letters: Sensible BC correction

An error in the story on the petition from Sensible BC was discovered

The article says “to make pot posession a ticketable offence rather than a criminal offence.” This is not the aim of Sensible BC at all. The Sensible Police Act would redirect all BC Police from detaining (ticketing) or arresting adults for marijuana possession. Minors would be treated as if it were alcohol. This new law would also call upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that BC could legally regulate cultivation and sale.

A correction on this matter would be very much appreciated as it sends  out mixed messages about the campaign.

Thank you for your time and support.
