TELL US TO CRIMINALISE TOBACCO

Dear Editor,

I'm writing about your thoughtful editorial, "A rational decision on
marijuana, please" of December 12. Marijuana is a natural herb that
has never been documented to kill a single person in the 5,000-year
history of its use.

If the United States government is concerned about Jamaica legalising
or decriminalising marijuana, please tell them to mind their own
business or to first criminalise tobacco. Tobacco is a mind-altering,
highly-addictive drug that kills greater than 5.8 million people ever
year.

No Americans die from Jamaican marijuana, but the same cannot be said
about Jamaicans dying from American tobacco products.

If Jamaica is a free, independent and sovereign country, please just
act like it and stop just proclaiming it.
