AN AD THAT WORKED HIS NERVES

Re "CannaCare" (SN&R Advertisements, July 1):

In the first [page of the] ad, CannaCare has come out against the
California Regulate, [Control] and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010. If this
act passes, it will obviously hurt the business interests of those
businesses selling "medical" cannabis.

I have no medical issues. I could make some up and pay a few hundred
dollars to various doctors and be legally able to buy herb from
business like CannaCare, but these businesses charge way too much for
herb. I can get it thru non-co-op sources way cheaper than their
Reagan-era prices.

I've been smoking herb for 40 years and have been a very productive
member of society and a law-abiding citizen-and I want to grow it for
myself. People like me helped get Proposition 215 passed. The proposed
law is the next step in complete legalization of the herb. We don't
need another middleman operation controlling what was created by God
and meant to be free.

And that leads to page two of the CannaCare ad: the linking of the Ten
Commandments to the strength of our nation. The Ten Commandments have
nothing to do with the forming of our nation. Our nation was formed on
the principle of separation of church and state. "One nation under
God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954. Everybody who has
not heard George Carlin's take on the Ten Commandments needs to hear
it-it's all over YouTube. Keep thy religion to thy self! I will spread
the word to all card-carrying "medical" cannabis smokers I know to
boycott CannaCare.

Please stop spreading around disinformation. Just legalize
it!
