STILL ILLEGAL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

To the Editor:

Cheers to Eric Schlosser (Op-Ed, April 26) for laying out the truth about 
marijuana. For nearly a century, Americans have been brainwashed by the 
dogma that marijuana is no less deadly than cocaine or heroin, even though 
all available scientific evidence points to the contrary.

Somehow it's not surprising to find this administration waging yet another 
costly and unending war in defiance of the facts.
