MARIJUANA IS AGAINST THE LAW; CASE CLOSED

This is in response to the Sept. 11 letter from Sandy Cote of Toledo: 
Marijuana is against the law. Pot users are criminals.

I am a man in my 60s. I have seen some of my best friends use marijuana, 
thinking it to be harmless, then later turning to harder drugs, which 
caused their deaths. Marijuana does lead to harder drugs.

These young people who start smoking pot cannot afford it. Smoking pot 
leads to stealing, stealing is also against the law. This also makes them a 
criminal. Case closed.
