TAXPAYERS LOSE IN DRUG WAR
I was rolling on the floor laughing at the letter to the editor saying
that marijuana might be more dangerous than most people think it is.
It might be true that marijuana causes cancer, but legal cigarettes
have been proven to cause cancer.
I believe that alcohol causes more deaths than marijuana
does.
All this "reefer madness" is doing is costing the so-called anti-drug
law enforcement any credibility and makes the drug war seem to be a
joke, to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars.
