JUST SAY NO TO THAT TRIPLE LATTE

"Puff, Puff, Pass (the Petition)" [WW, May 10, 2006] is just another
diatribe written by a hyped-up caffeine freak! Medical-marijuana users
are former policemen, librarians, secretaries and retired people from
all walks of life.

Were you too much in a hurry to hear the speaker tell his story about
being able to give his cancer-ridden mother relief in the few days
before she died by finally using medicinal marijuana in tincture suspension?

Did you hear the Iraq War veteran speak about how it helped him stop
his trauma from combat? No, I suppose you were too hyped up on
caffeine to SLOW down for the old hippies....

Except now we pay taxes, we own property, we have our own businesses,
we are VOTERS, we contribute to society. We don't kill or maim, or rob
or rape. Please bring your antiquated Drug War ideas out of the '80s,
or '70s, or '60s. Just say no to caffeine!
