Hart Referenced: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v09/n228/a07.html MEDICAL MARIJUANA The medical marijuana push is a poorly disguised trick to sneak recreational marijuana in through a back door. There is no legitimate medical use for pot smoking. My guess is that most, if not all, those promoting it are current or past recreational users themselves. If you want to use this drug, be honest and support decriminalization of recreational marijuana. You may even get support from non-users like me who see the hypocrisy of legal whiskey and illegal marijuana. If you are against decriminalization of marijuana, you should support another alcohol prohibition, but puh...lease don't try to sell me the medical marijuana hoax, or the Brooklyn bridge. I wasn't born yesterday. Michael J. Hart Springfield - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
