SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL

To the Editor:

Busting potheads is like shooting fish in a barrel.

I was recently busted by the Nelson City Police for marijuana during a
random door to door search.

A thief led the cops to my area while I was self-medicating, and then
I was the a criminal.

Now I never boasted to be the smartest person, but it's a no brainer
when it comes trusting the pharmaceutical industry.

I have two choices when it comes to pain relief: one destroys your
guts, the other makes you a criminal.

My choice saves the Health Care system lots of money, just ask my
liver.

The new challenge is to educate cops and law enforcement to get along
with the cannabis community, to weed-out the real bad guys

To be continued...
