MARIJUANA: WARRIORS OLD HAT

Dear Editor,

Perhaps we should hold Randy White personally responsible for the
failure of prohibition, since he is so keen on continuing it [White
slams Liberal pot laws, Mar. 2, Langley Advance News].

A drug warrior's life work revolves around demonizing drug users. I
don't expect anything new to come out of the drug warrior's bag of
tricks.

They will continue to spew Reefer Madness propaganda while science and
logic pass them up. Demonization is the only thing they know. The drug
war gets them the budget and power they're after.

The drug warriors have too much blood on their hands to walk away now.
They cannot possibly admit they are wrong. If they did, they would
have to explain to the public why they have terrorized, demonized, and
incarcerated thousands for using this plant: to protect our kids?
They're in more danger now than they have ever been in, and not
because of cannabis.

Our government has used junk science over the years to perpetuate the
lies. The lies will no longer go unanswered. Just Say KNOW!!
