POT CLARITY

Marijuana's safety and usefulness has been solidly proven by history,
and the myth that pot is a "gateway to harder drugs" has been soundly
and repeatedly debunked by science. Just because letter-writer Lynn
King's brother couldn't keep his personal life together is no reason
to blame marijuana. If marijuana is so dangerous, why have my seizures
dropped off from three per week to just three per year?
