WEAK POT LAWS ENCOURAGE ABUSE

First we heard that marijuana has medicinal value as a pain killer and
should be made available to those suffering from cancer, MS or AIDS.

Little has been done, however, to demonstrate that it is more
effective than regular drugs that are already available at the pharmacy.

The truth is many of those who are demanding marijuana to help them
cope with their diseases smoked the weed for years, before they became
ill. Now we are hearing from those who want the marijuana laws relaxed
or eliminated entirely.

Some favour having marijuana regulated, like alcohol. They remind us
that prohibition did not work. The truth is prohibition would have
worked had it not been for corrupt politicians and cops.

History has shown us the more readily available any substance is, the
more it will be used.

Enough is known about the dangers of marijuana.

No caring person is going to promote its use.
