MUZZLED MARIJUANA ACTIVIST A CASUALITY OF UNREALISTIC DRUG WAR
It is with bemusement that we watch from faraway Florida at the decision
rendered by Judge Albert Matthews with regards to Joe Kidwell ("Judge:
Activist can't promote pot," June 20). It had been suggested to me that
California was ahead of the curve with regards to supporting responsible
adult use of cannabis for medicinal use and responsible adult use of all
kinds.That Matthews ordered to Kidwell not to speak on a certain subject
matter forever, or face prison time is an amazing ignorance of the
Constitution.
This is much like case of Bob Barr of Georgia who last week suggested that
those who promote drug law reform in our country be charged as organized
criminals.
Silliness still pervades coast to coast, it seems.
