LIKE BEER VERSUS MOONSHINE

Peter Chiaramonte

Mississauga, Ont. -- Whatever "mellow weed" Margaret Wente's been 
smoking reeks of hypocrisy (Not The Groovy '60s: Today's Cannabis Is 
Harder And Meaner - June 26). The fact that today's cannabis is more 
potent than the "mellow weed" she remembers from her youth is about 
as significant as noting the differences between a bottle of beer and 
a jar of moonshine.

We have more honest, realistic options available than the twin 
scourges of hypocrisy and prohibition.
