IT'S TIME TO RE-LEGALIZE CANNABIS

Better titles would have been, Drug Laws Destroy Lives, or "Drugs
Destroy Lives", Parents Brainwashed ("Drugs Destroy Lives", Parents
Reminded, Nov. 28, 2007) since the war on drugs is often more harmful
than the substances being prohibited. Consider cannabis (kaneh bosm /
marijuana) which isn't even a drug but rather a relatively safe
God-given plant, that is safer than alcohol especially compared to
whiskey. Cannabis hasn't killed one person in over 5,000 years of
documented use while cigarettes kill over 1,000 North Americans daily
and it's less addictive than coffee. It's time to re-legalize cannabis
to add credibility to any "war" on "drugs".

People that support perpetuating Reefer Madness laws fail the "drug
test" and may be doing more harm than good.

Truthfully,
