TOBACCO A BIGGER DANGER THAN POT

We should release all Wisconsin jails inmates who have been convicted
of possessing, selling or growing marijuana. What they have done is
nowhere near as bad as what the tobacco growers and cigarette
companies have done: addicting smokers to nicotine, hooking them on a
terrible habit which has caused the deaths of millions of people.

Tobacco growers are subsidized by our government, but marijuana
growers are put in jail. We should let our farmers grow the stuff and
sell it at a high premium. That would increase farm income and also
relieve some of the overcrowding problems in our jails.
