MARIJUANA ISSUE NOT EXAMINED

Re: Tougher Laws Not The Answer, Our Opinions, C4

In his editorial Matthew Grant claimed marijuana proponents want to
experiment with society, when in actuality it is the prohibition itself
that is a deviation from what was the norm.

He claims we might suffer diminished immune deficiencies, reduced lung
capacity and perhaps even a bout with cancer if we puff the herb. Show me
the bodies.

His unwillingness to fully examine the evidence on this matter, his ability
to embrace a distant, potential threat and to use that precognition as
reason sufficient to continue the arrest of our fellow citizens for putting
themselves at risk, (in his opinion,) makes it glaringly obvious he "can't
handle the truth."
