WEED IS A GATEWAY DRUG

I DON'T get it. The feds are thinking of making possession of
marijuana legal "because it is a costly nuisance for the police" (Dec.
10) So are drunk drivers, burglars, home invaders - it would be a long
list. Weed is a gateway drug and many users end up on hard drugs.
Where is the common sense of a government that wants to ban cigarette
smoking and then plans to allow a much more harmful drug? Another good
reason to dump the vote-buying Liberals.
