CRACK AND COCAINE ARE THE REAL SCOURGE

RE "MARIJUANA'S rising potency sparks debate" (Health | Science, June
23): I smoked in the '70s and '80s. Believe me, there was some potent
marijuana back then, just as there is today. The problem is it's time
for those who oppose marijuana to get to the real nature of curing our
nation's drug problems. Marijuana isn't killing people. Imported crack
and heroin are. Quit wasting time fighting marijuana and maybe we
would have a chance of keeping those killer drugs outside our borders.
Or, just keep wasting our resources to combat marijuana while people
are dying and hard drug users, children, and our neighborhoods are
suffering.
