STONERS DON'T GET IT

(Re: "Boycott ganja," In Case You Missed It, Aug. 18.) Growing marijuana in
America's parks and forests is a direct consequence of an insane drug
crusade. Rather than boycotting ganja, we should legalize it, regulate it
and tax it. With legalization and regulation, there will no longer be any
problems with environmental damage from outlaw pot growers because
legalization will end the black market and marijuana will be grown on
regular cropland. The destruction of protected public lands is another
unintended negative result of a lunatic reefer madness campaign that serves
no useful purpose.
