THE TRUTH ABOUT MARIJUANA great LTE published
If Americans truly want to reduce honest hard drug addiction rates
("PLAAD wants more people to get involved in drug fight," May 26) We
must re-legalize the relatively safe, socially acceptable, God-given
plant cannabis (marijuana).
After all the reefer madness lies, half-truths and propaganda
government and law enforcement say about cannabis, how do citizens,
and especially youth, know they're being told the truth about meth,
heroin and other dangerous substances? According to President Bush's
administration reports, cannabis is the biggest problem in North
America, not heroin or meth. Today's pot is more like cocaine,
causing cancer and all. Cannabis which has never killed anyone in
over 5,000 years of documented use, is a Schedule I substance right
next to heroin, while meth is only rated a Schedule II substance - so
heroin and meth must not be a big deal, right? Telling the truth
about cannabis helps attain credibility with honest hard drugs.
Because honesty is the best policy.
