CANNABIS USE NEVER KILLED ANYONE

Government studies historically have discredited the gateway theory, 
and now additional research proves the same ("'Gateway' Drug Goes Up 
in Smoke," Dec. 6).

Cannabis (a.k.a. kaneh bosm, marijuana) is less addictive than coffee 
and safer than alcohol. Contrary to the government's reefer madness 
propaganda, cannabis hasn't caused cancer. There are no dead bodies 
to show for it in over 5,000 years of documented use. So what on 
earth is the hold up to legalizing the God-given plant?
