U.S. Drug Laws

Thank you for the editorial "Appeal Testing Case" (A-J, 12-5).

There is some backward thinking here. Kids who are doing drugs have a
better chance of living through it if allowed to participate in
activities that promote healthy lifestyles. Stopping the kids from
participating who need that activity the most and you have
accomplished the opposite of your goals. This is elementary.

I hope to see more articles that expose the war for profit for what it
is. My country is due for sensible realistic revolutionary change, now.

Politicians are responsible for giving away something they have no
right to give away: our constitutional rights. The government is too
aggressive in discriminatorily caging its citizens and thus creating
rampant contempt for government and its laws.

Citizens have lost their patience with the U.S. government's war for
profit. It is becoming our biggest government problem, due in part to
the resistance of political leaders to create healthy needed change.

I will vote for leaders who are not afraid of making the necessary
changes in our country's drug laws.

Caging your neighbor for using cannabis is a sin.

Please help end the war -- not escalate it.

Those who cage today may appear barbaric tomorrow.

Those who vote to cage are the problem in our society, not cannabis.
