CANNABIS CRITIC SHOWS IGNORANCE ABOUT DRUG

I was shocked and frightened by Jerry Luquire's position on marijuana
("Drug laws are clear: Marijuana is illegal," Opinion, Dec. 19). It
was almost as if he knew nothing at all about cannabis.

Has he not learned anything from Prohibition, the Salem witch hunts,
or the Crusades? People violate unjust laws by ignoring them.

His position on cannabis is just a bit outdated and dangerous. There
is plenty of research literature on cannabis out there, if Mr. Luquire
would like to come in from the Dark Ages.

Who would ever imagine a Georgia religious group might be a bit
backwards in its mindset?
