LET RESPONSIBLE ADULTS DECIDE

Dear Editor,

Thanks for publishing Joel Guerra's outstanding letter Oct. 1. It seems to
me adult citizens of a so-called free country should be able to smoke,
swallow, snort or inject any substance they want.

And be personally responsible for the consequences.

Every justification for the criminalization of certain
(politically-selected) recreational drugs can also be made for the
criminalization of a long list of potentially unhealthy foods.

Do we want our police arresting and jailing people for eating cheeseburgers,
hot dogs or corn dogs?

Hopefully not.

Do we want our police arresting each other for eating doughnuts?

Maybe.
