LEGALIZE POT IN NOVEMBER

I quit cigarettes 40 years ago, which was the hardest but smartest
thing I have ever done.

The laws and police action now being applied on marijuana should be
applied to cigarettes, which kill 460,000 Americans each year. This,
while tobacco corporations spread their terrible drug to Third World
countries to get lifetime addicts.

We should legalize marijuana as they did in Holland. The Dutch use
marijuana at half the rate Americans do.

Vote Nov. 2 to legalize marijuana, and then tax its sale to the
max.
