HYPOCRISY IS FOR DOPES

I'D LIKE to respond to the comment "Dope is for dopes" in the April 14
Letters to the editor. So it's OK to die from drinking, get AIDS from anal
sex or die from lung cancer at huge cost to medicare, self-actualize with
Prozac, come down with Valium, warp your mind with e-mail porn, pump
yourself up with Viagra and have an abortion if you forget your
morning-after pill. But God help you if you smoke marijuana? Am I missing
something? Are you too much of a dope to spell hypocrisy?
