WHO KNEW?

Re "Failed experiment" (Feature story, March 13):

An informative read on the history of medical dope in Nevada. Being a
conservative, with libertarian leanings, I have mixed feelings on
medical marijuana.

I find it very ironic that the far left want to outlaw E cigarettes as
"health hazards" while standing in line to vote in legal whacky weed.
Of course the tax money will "go to the schools," which is always a
sales pitch for more taxes. We will have the newest schools, with kids
that are so stoned, they can't recall their test material.

Just how many legal joints can be smoked before one's lungs are
damaged? We should know in a very few years.

Or it could be like gambling. Folks get their government assistance
check on the first, then have given most of it back to the state and
fed, by about the third, through the casinos which took their cut of
the profits, and the state, which took their bite. And their kids
still need shoes. They are the victims of oxygen thief parents, just
like always.

Maybe the legal dope thing will work the very same way. Dopers cash
government checks, and the government gets most of it back from the
taxes of their legal sales points, a pretty good scheme for those running it.
