A BUDDING PHILOSOPHY
Editor -- Kudos to Gwen Knapp for her outstanding column ("Ricky's
Reefer Madness," Aug. 3). Actually, it should be the NFL's Reefer
Madness or the U.S.'s Reefer Madness.
It seems to me that adult citizens of a so-called free country should
be free to smoke, swallow, snort or inject any substance that they
want, as long as they are personally responsible for the
consequences.
It seems to me that what Ricky Williams does on his own time should be
his business and nobody else's. As long as he harms only himself.
The annual obesity-vs.-marijuana kill ratio is about 400,000 to zero.
So which obesity-causing foods should we criminalize first?
