RE MARIJUANA-PHOBIC AMERICA

Editor, The Star, Sir,

It's truly unfortunate that Born-Again "ex-pot head" Frank Sterle didn't
spend a lot of time behind bars when he was a degenerate criminal. Perhaps
that would have tempered his embrace for the failed Police State paradigm.
Did marijuana destroy his life? Was it a real "chore" to quit? Does this
smug individual believe his friends are better off in jail or prison than
smoking marijuana? Why does the Netherlands have a considerably lower
marijuana use rate than marijuana-phobic America, Mr. Sterle?
