REDUCE 'ICE' USE BY PUTTING STATE IN CHARGE

The Star-Bulletin inadvertently printed the solution to the ice epidemic,
buried in a story on page 10 of the Sept. 16 edition ("Pot patients peeved at
Canada's proffering"). The Canadian government is growing medicinal pot and
selling it, but customers complain that the dope is "disgusting."

Clearly, if we abolished the free market and put our legislative leadership --
the same people who thought the van cams were a jolly good idea -- in charge of
producing and distributing crystal methamphetamine, people all over the state
will start jonesing rather than buy the resulting shoddily made, overpriced
ice.
