POT MAY BE ON AT 'TOON CAFE

SASKATOON -- Uncertainty over Canada's marijuana laws likely sparked a
proposal to set up in Saskatoon a Dutch-style cafe where small amounts of
marijuana can be consumed, says the city's mayor.

Jim Maddin says the city's planning and zoning department has received a
letter from a person interested in the idea if Canada's marijuana laws change.

"I think what has prompted this is the recent discussion at the federal
level with respect to cannabis possession and that sort of thing," Maddin
said yesterday.

"The letter contains reference to the fact that there are a great number of
users of cannabis throughout Canada and certainly here in Saskatoon, and a
lot of these people have been sheltering that activity because of course
it's a criminal offence."

Details of the Saskatoon proposal aren't known. In Holland, more than 800
licenced cannabis cafes have been set up where marijuana users can buy and
smoke small amounts of pot.
