HIGHER EDUCATION ACT COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE
It's commendable that students are working nationally to eliminate
discriminatory amendments in the Higher Education Act, that punish
students for drug law convictions (Students Fight Drug Penalty Act,
April, 12, 2007), including violations relating to cannabis, which
isn't even a drug, but rather a God-given plant. Why does Reefer
Madness government persist on persecuting responsible adult citizens
and students for cannabis use but allow alcohol which is considerably
worse and more dangerous?
