MANY OPPOSE GOVERNMENT ACTIONS AGAINST ADULTS

I'm writing about the not-so-thoughtful letter from Fred Russo: "Those
on the far-left spectrum would choose to cut and run," Sept. 5. There is
a long list of true conservatives who oppose our counterproductive war
on drugs policies. Many on the far-left, the far-right and the middle of
the political spectrum don't take kindly to the government dictating
what substances its adult citizens may or may not consume - even in the
privacy of their own homes. Note that Viagra is OK, but marijuana is
not. Note that tobacco is OK, but marijuana is not. Many on the
far-left, the far-right and middle of the political spectrum want our
government to protect us from those who want to harm us against our
will. Not attempt to protect us from ourselves.
