CANNABIS A SAFE OPTION

To the editor,

The Kenyon Leader should give an opposing position to Kevin Sabet's 
discredited claims (Myths Of Legalizing Medicinal Marijuana, Mar. 13, 
2014), which are too many to list.

Even the Reefer Madness government subsidized prohibitionists quit 
using the historically discredited "gateway theory" decades ago. 
Cannabis (marijuana) is less addictive than coffee:

Cannabis has been documented medicinally for over 5,000 years without 
a single death; that's safety on a Biblical scale. The plant is safer 
than every pharmaceutical drug it replaces. Colorado citizens have 
used cannabis medicinally with protection from overzealous government 
for over a decade and continue to use it while cannabis has 
completely become re-legalized and the sky hasn't fallen in.

Truthfully,

Stan White
