TEACH KIDS THE TRUTH

In the July 14 letters, Tina Guthrie from Elmendorf Air Force Base
wrote a letter, "Teach youth right from wrong," against legalizing
marijuana. The Air Force has a senseless policy against even using
legal hemp products such as lotion, chap stick or shampoo.

I believe we should teach our youth the truth. Inhaling household
chemicals will kill them -- marijuana won't. Give our youth true drug
education. When one discovers they have been lied to about the effects
of marijuana, they might begin to wonder what heroin is really about.
It's truth or D.A.R.E.!
