CANNIBIS LESS A PROBLEM THAN PEOPLE THINK

Karen Hayes (Letter: "Marijuana is a bigger problem than some think"
Aug. 13, 2006), does a disservice to responsible adults who wish to
use cannabis (marijuana) instead of alcohol. It does a disservice to
truth and rational thinking. And a disservice to Christ God Our
Father who indicated he created all the seed-bearing plants saying
they are all good on literally the very first page of the Bible (see
Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).

It is commendable helping youth resist cannabis, drugs, cigarettes,
alcohol, sex and coffee until they are older and responsible for
themselves, but caging adults for using cannabis is the wrong way to
do it.

While cannabis has never led to overdose and is less addictive than
coffee and less intoxicating than alcohol, many citizens believe
cannabis is less of a problem that some people think. Fact is, the
worst consequence for cannabis is being put in a cage for using it.
