POT PROMOTERS ACT LIKE SPOILED CHILDREN

To the editor:

Regarding the front page article in the May 6 Capital News; I find the 
whole concept of legalizing cannabis distasteful at best.

Marijuana users do come from all walks of life, but the one thing they 
share is their selfish, short-sighted irresponsibility.

People often make poor choices but it would be nice if everyone learned 
from them and in the process matured, rather than remaining at the 
emotional age of 13 or so. Cannabis is a drug. An illegal drug.

One fellow in that recent article said that it was "no worse than the legal 
drugs."
