LYING ABOUT DRUG

Re Kathleen Parker's Feb. 7 column:

Olympian Michael Phelps is in good company. The list of athletes
caught using marijuana is long. Could it be that drug warriors have
been lying about marijuana's health impact? They've definitely been
lying about the deterrent value of marijuana prohibition.

The United States has higher rates of marijuana use than the
Netherlands, where marijuana is legally available to adults over 18.
