Vices Are Not Crimes

LICIA CORBELLA suffers from selective or suppressed memory. Queen Victoria 
smoked pot and ruled the free world in her time. (Stoners all fired up," 
Sept. 3.) Grant Fuhr, No. 1 goalie on planet Earth ever, period -- was once 
a cocaine user.

The Beatles, nah they weren't very successful, Elvis Presley, well Elvis 
loved prescription drugs and kept a doctor on staff, what a loser.

The river runs deep and the river runs wide when it comes to naming names. 
Corbella engages in serf talk as she explains to us the difference between 
legalizing and decriminalizing marijuana. Vices are not crimes.

The government in a free society has no business controlling what substance 
adults can put in their bodies, just like the government has no business 
controlling what ideas a man may put in his head.
