Cooper, Dec. 23): The first thing I notice about Robert Galia is he looks old beyond his years, most likely due to his substance abuse. And I am really tired of his blanket statements, such as that 99 percent of cannabis users are nonviolent. If this is the case, why do so many of the pot growers I have come into contact with own an arsenal of guns? And is this statement in regard to the nonviolent cannabis users/growers in our country or Mexico or both? Cynthia Stevenson Cherokee - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
