DRUG USERS LIMIT OUR LIBERTIES AND ENDANGER KIDS

Shame on you, Register, for dignifying Will Smith's letter, "Marijuana laws
ruin lives" by publishing it.

It is exactly Smith's type of thinking, vis-a-vis drugs and recreation, that
got us into the terrible, "criminal-state" we have today. There is no
police-state infringement of individual liberty. It's the drug criminals who
are robbing our "liberties."

Khalid El-Amin is a college student who should be studying, which happens to
be near impossible to do while under the even days-old effects of marijuana.
And that is if one buys marijuana at all. There's a plethora of look-alike,
smell-alike substances sold on the street. And unscrupulous dealers
adulterate their products with insect sprays, formaldehyde, and God-knows-what.

Marijuana smokers behind the wheel are an army of potential killers, who
have bad vision, depth perception, and judgment.

And Smith says that potheads make a "better life for their children"! What!?
Wake up. Is he making a better life at his home smoking pot, or whatever,
around his kids? Are secondhand pot fumes good for youngsters?

Read Harry Anslinger's 1930s report to Congress. Marijuana is bad. It does
"lead to harder drugs." It does lead to criminal behavior.
