HOLES IN A POT ARGUMENT
It is tragic when citizens of this "free land" complacently accept the
right of government to control what they can put into their own
bodies, but it is intolerable when the "forbidden fruit" is, for many,
a lifesaving potion such as medical marijuana.
We endured an earlier failed prohibition on alcohol, which most would
now agree was costly and foolish.
We are currently being governed by numerous individuals who,
admittedly or not, "experimented" with pot (but suffered no punishment
for doing so).
Many of them, however, remarkably have no qualms about continuing this
drug-war nonsense.
