MARIJUANA IS SAFE AND LOWERS RISK OF CANCER

THE EDITOR:

In the May 16th edition, Mr. Enright wrote about how the two people he
knew 14 and 16 years ago that had smoked marijuana are now brain
damaged, and he suggested it was as a result of "destructive and
harmful" marijuana. He begins his letter with "The path to liberty and
freedom is education and knowledge."

There are many studies stating for a fact that the opposite is true.
Indications from these studies are that if you do not use marijuana
you are at a higher risk for cancer.

For far too long citizens of the world have been oppressed by
government propaganda programs and laws designed to brainwash society
for the purpose of corporate greed augmented by corruption.

Yes, Mr. Enright, I agree, the path to liberty and freedom is
education and knowledge. Doctors are now clueing in to the medicinal
benefits of marijuana and are prescribing its use more and more.
People, educate yourselves with these positive truths and let's get
rid of these oppressive and archaic propaganda programs and laws. You
may have been brainwashed by the government and self-righteous
individuals. Find out the truth. These laws are very harmful and cause
needless suffering of the people.
