Her column is major league jerky knee. If she is so miffed on smoking, perhaps she should peruse the writings of Donald Tashkin of the University of California, Los Angeles, while eating a cannabis medible. This is not the end of western civilization; it is but our governance slowly catching up to reality. Don't smoke it if you don't want to. It's a free country and all. But please quit putting people like me in jail for our tastes, our appetites. It is not fair, and you know it. - - Jay Bergstrom, Forest Ranch, Calif. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
