IS AMERICA GOING TO POT?
Drug czar Walters, director of the White House Office of National Drug
Control Policy, is just as unpopular with some of our readers as the laws
against pot are.
"Having a culture warrior like Walters dictate marijuana policy is like
putting an Islamic fundamentalist in charge of alcohol," wrote a Virginian.
A New York reader asked, "Where does Walters get off saying the billionaire
philanthropists who bankroll the movement to legalize marijuana should
debate him? They don't owe him an explanation any more than someone who
backs the Red Cross does." And a man in Utah went further: "For Walters to
cry foul at the marijuana lobby's use of the tactics long employed by
Republican robber barons is just a hoot!"
