CANNABIS HARM STEMS FROM ITS PROHIBITION

Editor, The News:

Thank you for another letter from Eric Myrholm ('Marijuana still
harmful,' Oct. 12). Myrholm sarcastically asks who he should believe
between pro-marijuana activists and anti-marijuana researchers, who
have nothing to gain.

Perhaps neither; believe Christ God Our Father, the ecologican, who
created all the seed-bearing plants and said they were all good on
literally the very first page of the Bible. The biggest harm
associated with cannabis use is being caged for using it, which is
what Myrholm's activism is responsible for.

If people really care to reduce the harm from cannabis use, quit
working so hard to cage them.
