SUCKERS, SCAM ARTISTS AND MARIJUANA

I'm writing about Bob Kerr's outstanding March 26 column: "Time to
legalize marijuana." The headline should have been: "Time to
re-legalize marijuana." For most of our nation's history, marijuana
was legal. And contrary to the Reefer Madness propaganda and lies that
created the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 that criminalized marijuana, we
had almost no problems with marijuana or its users.

There are two types of people who support the continued
criminalization of marijuana: Those with a vested financial interest
in the prohibition of marijuana. This includes drug-war cheerleading
politicians who are probably on the payroll of the drug cartels; and
suckers -- taxpayers who pay to support the world's largest prison
system, our unwinnable war on drugs and who have bought into the
propaganda and lies of the drug-war bureaucracy and industry.
