Editor:

So, the Erie trustees have a "feeling" that marijuana is a gateway drug?  How arrogant that small-time elected officials are permitted to substitute their "feelings" for science and medicine. It is nothing but an attempt at circumventing the will of the voters.  So much for going the legal way and enacting laws in a democratic manner.  Officials with an ax to grind and vested interests are always ready to torpedo whatever the voters decide if it's not in accordance with the officials' "feelings."  It is disgraceful and undemocratic, a typical action of petty tyrants, and a cause for shame.

Editor:

Fr. Bill Carmody of the Diocese of Colorado Springs asks: "What are we teaching our children?"  (11/24.)  Whose children, paleface?  I think you ought to be more careful talking about children.  You Fr's don't have a good record with them so don't go around throwing stones at "the so-called medical marijuana" users.  Consider the beam in your own eye first, Brother Bill.

To the editor-

Thanks to the News & Review for Bruce Van Dyke's column, State Of 
Denial (Thur, Nov 25). Yes, medical  cannabis is a no-brainer. Anyone 
who says cannabis isn't medicine is an intellectual troglodyte.

But worse than our nation's ignorance on cannabis as medicine is our 
ignorance of the process behind its prohibition.

No science, no facts, truth or even common sense were ever involved in 
the banning of cannabis. Instead it is a pile of xenophobic, racist 
newspaper fictions and the manipulations of career prohibition 
bureaucrat, Harry Anslinger.

As we found in the mid 20th century, policies founded upon racial 
bigotry bear bitter fruit. Cannabis IS medicine and has been medicine 
since before recorded history. To deprive citizens of medicine growable 
in the home garden is cruel and capricious. That cannabis in any form - 
whether industrial, medicinal, nutritional or recreational - is 
illegal, is a travesty of truth and an act of massive collective 
ignorance.

The federal government is lying. Grow up, get over it - and change it.

Allan Erickson

To the Editor of The Detroit News:

I'm writing about Nolan Finley's column: "We can't put the
gene back in the bong" (11-28-10).

Suppose that half, or even more than half, of the people who
purchase medical marijuana don't really need it for medical
reasons.  That means that they are not buying their marijuana
from drug dealers who get their marijuana via the Mexican
drug cartels.

And it also means that they are not buying their marijuana
from drug dealers who also sell other, much more
dangerous drugs, like meth, heroin and cocaine.

Most marijuana consumers would prefer to buy locally grown
marijuana of known quality, known purity and known potency.

But if they can't, they buy black market marijuana.
