LIFE WITH MARY JANE

Dear Editor:

On and on it goes, bust after bust after bust, while marijuana remains as
plentiful and available as ever and the jails are filled to overflowing
with the unfortunate few who were caught with the stuff.

On and on it goes with the media immersing us all with a torrent of drug
bust stories from the cops' perspective with nary a word from their
victims, their families or from those like me who oppose drug prohibition.

Oh well, once the number using the drug becomes a majority, marijuana will
be legalized soon enough. Pity the poor heroin and cocaine users who seem
condemned to remain a minority for a while yet.

If an innocent minority is threatened only with jail rather than with
execution, does that make our drug laws more acceptable than the Holocaust?
I hardly think so.
