TIME TO END REEFER MADNESS

Re: Fire uncovers elaborate grow-op, May 28.

A dangerous fire caused by a grow-op. The fault of criminals or the
fault of prohibition?

Look what people are prepared to do to grow a simple plant.

Is it not time to end this reefer madness, so that people can grow a
plant under the good old sun rather than forcing them to endanger
their families and neighbours?

Pot isn't a dangerous drug - alcohol continues to kill people and
there has yet to be a death attributed to smoking a joint, not one.
In fact it is a useful drug that has the potential help or cure many ailments.

The U.S. government has known that cannabis has the potential to cure
cancer since at least 1974. I'm serious, look it up.

End the lies, and stop this madness.
