MARIJUANA: HOME FILLED WITH HAZARDS

Dear Editor,

Frank G. Sterle, Jr., ought to have a good look around his home [Harmless 
assumptions legitimized, April 25 Letters to the Editor, Langley Advance News].

Bleach and other cleaning chemicals under the bathroom and kitchen sinks 
are all extremely dangerous.

Next, out in the garden shed, are all those dangerous lawn chemicals, not 
to mention gasoline and other petroleum products.

Who protects the children from all those dangerous chemicals?

"Dangerous drugs" is a political designation, no different from "dangerous" 
Jew, witch, heretic, homosexual, or whatever dangerous scapegoat de jour.

So, even if cannabis is the most harmful or dangerous substance on planet 
Earth, what business does the state have prohibiting it?
