MARIJUANA AND GANGS

It is irresponsible to keep reporting on gang violence when at the
same time you fail to comment on our silly marijuana laws.

It is clear a large part of gang profits and violence comes from
sales of marijuana, a very popular smoke.

If the plant were legal, both gang violence and gang profits would
immediately drop by a large percentage.

It is only fair to the public not to let the preachers and
politicians confuse marijuana smokers with cocaine and heroin users.

Please remember the prohibition we had against alcohol, a much more
serious drug.
