MARIJUANA CLICHES

Re: "We're making a mess of this pot thing, Colorado," April 14
Meredith C. Carroll column.

When will marijuana opponents stop using cliched references to the
munchies, Cheech and Chong, and Seth Rogen films? I'm all for a debate
on how to regulate recreational marijuana, as there have admittedly
been major problems with the medical model, but identifying an actual
argument in Meredith C. Carroll's column is an elusive task. Making a
list of tired stereotypes and then calling it an opinion displays as
much intellectual laziness as Carroll ascribes to stoners.
