THE EVIL WEED

Mark Bonokoski, give your head a shake ("Having sampled the marijuana 
of today ...," Aug. 24). He has not, supposedly, smoked any weed 
since his youth and yet made a determination that today's pot is way 
too powerful to even consider legalizing. That is like not having a 
shot for years and then having some 150 proof rum. Whoa, that stuff 
should be illegal! The stuff he was smoking back in the day was 
Mexican and you could inhale the whole bag. The quantity smoked today 
has lessened as the quality improved. This column was the knee-jerk 
reaction he probably would have accused his parents of when he was 
20. I have read Bono for years and he is the last writer I would have 
thought to be such a hypocrite.
