MARIJUANA ISN'T THE REAL 'POISON'

I am really confused. I normally don't comment but I couldn't avoid
this one. A couple days ago, there was an article about the guy who
got out of prison early and raped a girl.

Then there was the story about how gangs are becoming prevalant in
Vacaville and members will not hesitate to approach someone who is
not a gang member but just likes to dress with baggie pants.

Then I read about pot, medicinal marijuana, and how we need to keep
that "poison" out of Vacaville. The article went on and on about how
the city needs to get another extension to figure out how to keep
this poison out. Well, let me tell you, marijuana is not poison.
Alcohol is poison. Gang members are poison. Rapists are poison.

Let me also say the marijuana article mentioned how more police would
have to be attained to keep this poison out of our town. Well, how
come more money would be allowed for medicinal marijuana, yet not
used for gangs or tracking rapists and parolees? That is poison.
Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol. Just think of the tax money
the city would make if marijuana was sold legally?

It seems police too much time and money fighting marijuana. The only
answer I can come up with is it is easier to do that than to track
and maintain our city from gangs, thieves and rapists. More police
should be used for the more serious crimes.

Alcohol is poison. And that is legal. Alcohol does more damage to the
body than medicinal marijuana.

People with cancer, pain and other medical issues find medicinal
marijuana helps them more than addictive prescription narcotics. With
prescription narcotics, you have to keep taking more and more. Not so
with medicinal marijuana.

I'm interested in what others think of this.
