MARIJUANA MEASURE AND KIDS

RE: "Skepticism surrounds Santa Cruz's marijuana law" - Mike Bethke
says: "It sends the wrong message to our kids, and to the rest of the
country that Santa Cruz is a haven for folks who smoke pot."

It's OK for adults to consume a substance less harmful than alcohol.
What's wrong with that message?

Thank you, Santa Cruz! That's a message the country needs to hear
loud and clear! My children need to hear it too. It's important for
them to know the truth about recreational drugs so when they get to
be adults, they can make wise choices.

800,000 innocent Americans are arrested for marijuana every year and
given permanent "criminal" records that marginalize them for life.

It's time for this shameful, monstrous bigotry and persecution to end.

Santa Cruz should be proud they are leading the way to do the right thing!
