WHY CREATE MORE DANGERS?

The Oct. 7 Herald had a letter titled "Initiative 692: End reefer
madness." The letter is another case where people don't want to
subscribe to what doctors can do other ways without additional bad
side effects. We never hear about what effects the marijuana smoke has
on the patient. Yet, we hear all the problems that smokers have
medically because of the smoke. The state is in the process of a huge
lawsuit because of the effects of smoking. Why would we want to add to
the problem of peoples' health by licensing a known killer when
doctors can do it another way?

Let's quit the nonsense and quit trying to pave the way to legalized
drugs that are killing and enslaving many people, especially our children.
