I'm writing about David Smith's letter: "Dangers of meth" in the Dec. 30 Herald-Tribune. Actually, most people who have used crystal meth started with their mother's milk or baby formula. But that is certainly not the cause, any more than marijuana itself is the cause of the meth epidemic. As to the root cause of the of the meth epidemic, I suggest we look to the "drug warriors" who grossly exaggerate the harm and danger of marijuana. When our youth find out they have been lied to about marijuana, they then assume that they are being lied to about the dangers of hard drugs like methamphetamines. Thus, we now have a meth epidemic throughout the U.S. and Canada. Kirk Muse Mesa, Arizona - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
