"Police, Township ask for end to bong sales," Star article, Aug. 10. As a federal medical marijuana license holder who is also married to one, I was compelled to comment on this paraphernalia bylaw story.

I agree that marijuana-using paraphernalia should be out of sight and out of the reach of anyone under 18 or 19. But I also think that tobacco and alcohol products should be out of sight, too. How can our society allow vodka advertisements on billboards at the side of the highway, and beer advertisements on Hockey Night In Canada, but won't allow people to sell bongs? It is hypocritical and absurd.

By the way, any marijuana smoking apparatus or appliance would probably be considered a medical assistance device. People who use pot for medicine are entitled to access of that equipment. They have to buy it somewhere, so prohibiting the sale in an area might violate the Charter rights of any medical marijuana users in that area.

Oh, that pesky Charter!
