LEGALIZED MARIJUANA MAKES SENSE
On the governor's talk of legalizing marijuana - here are some facts:
annual death rates in America from tobacco: 430,000; alcohol: 85,000;
aspirin: 7,500; cannabis: 0. Has anyone ever seen a person lying in
the street dead with a joint in his or her hand? Our nation spends
billions of dollars per year prosecuting and jailing those using it
today.
