AMERICA'S PROBLEM IS PROHIBITION, NOT DRUGS

To the Cigar,

I take offense to the comments made by Bruce Goodish. I use cannabis and I
have a wonderful family, job and home. I am a productive member of society.
I pay taxes. I am not scum. It's people with attitudes such as his that
have gotten our country into the mess we are in now with regards to drugs
and the negative impact they have on society. The problem our country has
is with prohibition. Not drugs. I pray that he will find it in his heart to
help those "druggies" that really need help and leave the rest of us scum
alone. For we are going to turn this country's drug control policy around
to where it should be. Based in science and logic. Not fear and emotion.
