A WHIFF OF MARIJUANA FOR UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC
The government tells us the simple marijuana plant is so dangerous
that it requires the death penalty for its possession.
Why are these people, who stand so firm on this issue, putting an
unaware public in immediate danger then?
By burning a very large amount of marijuana in the presence of a
President, no less, with a large crowd of public officials and police
officers, as well as reporters, photographers and innocent on lookers
near by, how do you explain that no danger will come to them?
What about the public population that is living downwind and near the
airport where the marijuana was burned? Do they not have the right to
have their immediate atmosphere not polluted with a large quantity of
secondhand marijuana smoke?
Do the public officials need to promote their wrongful and deadly
message of marijuana to the point where they can not dispose of
properly of what they refer to as: a hazard and dangerous plant that
is worthy of the death penalty?
Does not the public deserve the appropriate manner of destruction of
police evidence so that they are free from the state-pronounced
effects of the evil of the weed?
Just what do you think they are trying to say?
The message of a public marijuana burn is not worth it and it's
wrong.
