PROTESTERS SHOULD BE RATIONAL NOT RADICAL

Let me start out by saying I am not against the legalization of
marijuana, and I am definitely for smarter drug control policy, I've
even written papers on the topic. However, I must ask what was the
point of the protest on campus? Does UCF have anything to do with drug
policy whatsoever? Or were you all just trying to make us aware of
your group? Last time I checked that's the point of tabling at the
Student Union.

If you want to be heard or make a change, go somewhere relevant, like
Tallahassee, or even D.C. Also, don't feed everyone BS. No one has
died from smoking marijuana because it's illegal; therefore there have
been no long term studies. If any member of this organization wants to
sit there and tell me that smoking five joints a day for twenty years
will not have adverse health effects, then I would love to laugh in
their face.

Also, keep in mind marijuana is smoked, and to say it's "The safest
drug" is just ridiculous as far as drugs go it's still a drug, you're
still smoking something and that on any level is unhealthy again, I'm
not against smoking or anything like that. I'm just saying it's almost
like you're rationalizing and giving people a false impression. Saying
marijuana is the safest drug is like saying lethal injection is the
best form of execution.

Stop sugarcoating, stop having irrelevant protests on campus,
especially when there are tours going on, because I'm sure parents of
prospective students aren't as open minded, and do something relevant
if you want real change. If not, someone a lot more powerful and
significant than some college kid will call your organization out on
these issues, and that would make you all look somewhat foolish.
