CANNABIS WASN'T MEANT TO BE PROHIBITED

Dear Editor of the Spectrum,

Colin Knoer got an arrow splitting bull's eye (Marijuana
Legalization: The NORML Perspective, Jan. 7, 2011) [online version -
printed in Wednesday's paper], citizens have contempt for
government's message about drugs and the plant cannabis (marijuana)
due to their lies, half-truths and propaganda. How many citizens try
cannabis and realize it's not nearly as harmful as claimed by
government and believe other substances must not be so bad either
only to become addicted to hard drugs? Government even classifies
cannabis as a Schedule I substance alongside heroin, while meth and
cocaine are only Schedule II substances.

Further, cannabis was never meant to be prohibited to begin with;
that's why God, the Ecologician indicates He created all the seed
bearing plants saying they are all good, on literally the very first
page of the Bible (see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).

Truthfully,

Stan White
