CONFUSION WITH ANTI-AMENDMENT 44 COMMENT

Re: Big Moment for Marijuana (SDN, Nov. 3)

After reading about the family experience of Beverly Kinard, president
of the Christian Drug Education Center, I am puzzled.

One one hand, she is working hard to advocate for punitive criminal
laws again cannabis use. However, according to the article, her own
son started using cannabis from age 12 to age 17.

If Kinard feels that criminal prohibition laws are the best solution
for cannabis use, why didn't she immediately take her son down to the
police station to be handcuffed, arrested and jailed?

Or is jail just something for other families who use cannabis? Or
maybe just non-Christian cannabis users? I'm still trying to figure it
out.
