I find it appalling that so much fuss (not to mention money, time, manpower, etc.) is spent chasing the cultivators of a weed when a much more damaging and dangerous drug (alcohol) is deemed OK. I have nothing against alcohol but I have never heard of someone smoking pot and then going home to beat up their wife. Marijuana is a fairly harmless drug and should be treated that way. I think it is time for us all to grow up and stop chasing the "evil weed". Randy Bettis, Red Bluff - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
