DEFENDING DOPE

Jon Ferry has drawn some some erroneous conclusions in his column on 
the harmful effects of cannabis. Marijuana and cannabis have been 
used for centuries to treat everything from simple dermatitis to 
infertility. Not one person in the history of the world has succumbed 
to marijuana poisoning or died from direct consumption. Statistics 
show the staggering number of deaths directly attributed to 
cigarettes and tobacco. Please take this into consideration despite 
any government "findings" to the contrary. Just look around.
