HERE'S WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT: MARIJUANA USE

When I read the recent "Pot users, step out of your haze" letter on the 
Readers' Page, I was enraged.

I'm a month short of 51 and I'm just now finding out that I've been ripped 
off for 35 years. I mean, I've been getting mellow, sometimes I've had the 
munchies and, on occasion, even the giggles. But I've never had a "trip" -- 
bad or otherwise.

When I was a teenager in the 1960s, we all tried LSD and MDA. So I know 
what a trip is.

However, when this letter-writer pointed out that I was supposed to be 
"tripping" on bud, I was astonished and more than a little upset. Just wait 
until I find the guy I've been getting my pot from. The smoke's gonna hit 
the fan. Count on it.

Clyde Fowler,

Prince George
