READERS SOUND OFF ON POT ISSUE

Blagojevich's marijuana smoking is about a couple of puffs from what I
understand. To me, the degree of that incident is similar to a common
little lie a person would tell another. Everybody in life has told a lie.
Since having told a lie isn't at all a concern, then neither should be a
little marijuana smoking. Unless, of course, the candidate is not at all
far from days of having been a heavy alcohol or drug abuser. At least
Blagojevich was honest. I'm still waiting for some other candidates and
current legislative officials to eventually tell the truth on certain things.
