HONESTY VS. LYING

Re: "State leads in marijuana use," Sept. 1 news story.

You've got to be kidding. How can a national study determine which
state has the most illegal drug use? What do they do? Do a scientific
study and poll all the "known" drug users, and ask "what is your drug
of choice and how much do you use it?" Ask teenagers? How "scientific"
is this study?

It's an "opinion poll" at least, and a "b------- poll at
best.

Do you really expect a person to admit to using illegal drugs to a
U.S. agency? Either Colorado has more honest people or more liars.
