MANIPULATED STATISTICS

Larry Stelma, Byron Konschuh and Bill Schuette seem to think that 
marijuana should remain illegal because alcohol causes widespread 
societal problems ("Legalizing marijuana remains a bad idea," July 
16). Alcohol abuse is the primary culprit behind the domestic 
violence problems they vaguely attribute to "substance abuse." Not 
all drugs are created equal. Marijuana is by far the safest 
recreational drug, legal or otherwise.
