POT CAN HELP ADDICTS RECOVER

Re: Addiction myths debunked, Opinion, Dec. 29

While Michael Pond supports using one substance to get off another to
escape alcoholism or drug addiction, it's worth mentioning how
cannabis (marijuana) has historically been used to help people.

The plant is not physically addictive, hasn't killed anyone in over
5,000 years of documented use and should be available to citizens
trying to get off hard drug addiction and alcoholism.

Further, re-legalizing the plant in itself will lower hard drug
addiction rates to begin with.
