MORE POT SHOTS ABOUT USE OF MARIJUANA

I'd like to point out that letter-writer Stan White never mentioned the use
of marijuana for medical purposes, so my response had nothing to do with
using it for medicinal purposes, although the chemical in marijuana that
has supposedly eased the pain of people suffering from diseases such as
glaucoma is THC, and is available in pill form, without having to break any
laws.

Since Stan never mentioned the medical aspect of smoking pot, I figured
he's a supporter of NORML, an organization that believes marijuana use
should be regulated like alcohol.

But unlike marijuana, I've never seen a study that showed that 85 percent
of hard drug users went from drinking a beer or two to shooting heroin or
smoking crack or crank.

My (and your) constitutional and civil rights are not being reduced one
iota because pot is illegal.

He calls pot a "god-given medicinal herb." Please, spare me the religious
lesson, ye of little faith.

Just about every illegal and legal drug starts out as some kind of plant
created by nature.

Your argument is pathetic and fallacious.
