FOOLISH CANNABIS LAWS

To the Editor:

Why does cultivating tomatoes not create cleanup problems while cannabis
(marijuana) does (article, "Pot garden cleanup a heavy load for
authorities," Nov. 30)? Since backwards thinking dominates America's
cannabis laws, there isn't a regulated cultivation system in place for the
extremely popular plant which will be grown one way or the other.

America's foolish cannabis laws also mean "free" American farmers may not
grow hemp (without THC) while communist Chinese farmers can and cannabis is
a Schedule I substance along with heroin while meth is only a Schedule II
substance.

Unmistakably, cannabis laws and those who support them are un-American and
ignorant.
