LEGALIZE & TAX POT

End reefer madness Thank you for your "voice of common sense" in your
Random Thoughts article titled, "The end of reefer madness?" While I
may not agree with your statement about potent strains causing
psychotic reactions (this study was disproved), I do agree with
everything else that you wrote. You nailed it with your very first
sentence! My body belongs to me! No one has a right to tell me what I
can put into my body as long as I am hurting no one by doing it! The
sooner that those who are supposed to represent us, and those that are
supposed to 'protect and serve' us get this, then maybe we can move on
to more important things. It might interest you to know that U.S.
companies bought 92% of last year's Canadian hemp crop. That could
have been money in our farmers' pockets, and yet, they all seem to be
drunk on corn ethanol as the answer to our gas problems. What a shame,
but then, it is hard to undo 71 years of reefer madness that seems to
be alive and well yet today. I hope and pray that before I leave this
earth, we will finally "get it!" Until then, I will keep fighting, I
will keep using cannabis, and I will continue to refuse to be treated
like a criminal! Change is a comin'!
