POT NO WORSE THAN BOOZE

Susan Martinuk should know marijuana, like alcohol, is a personal
choice for escape from reality.

The effects of alcohol on the body are just as bad if taken in
excess, and perhaps even worse, as the effects of smoking pot.

In fact, battered women's shelters might testify to the fact that
alcohol causes severe damage to families as well as the human body.

I would rather my husband came home after smoking a joint, with a
relaxed smile on his face, than coming in after drinking, which
affects his stomach and gives him a miserable demeanour.

The next time Martinuk lifts a little glass of wine to her lips,
remember -- it is her choice.

How would she like someone telling her it's illegal (as it once was)?
