ALCOHOL PART OF WHY POT STILL ILLEGAL

Regarding the story, "Mathieu enters NFL drug testing program" from 
May 26: So why does the NFL care weather Tyrann Mathieu or any other 
player uses marijuana instead of alcohol during their off time? 
Money. And lots of it.

What industry spends the most on TV advertising for sporting events? 
The beer industry.

As marijuana use increases, beer consumption goes down. The beer 
industry knows this. And this is one of the major reasons marijuana 
remains a criminalized substance.
