It is wrong to compare substances that have lethal doses, such as alcohol and opiates, to cannabis, which does not. End prohibition and there will be no reason to buy cannabis from criminals. In California, we have developed hundreds of mom-and-pop growers. We are not going back to Mexican weed no matter how hard the government tries to force a return. The misinformation spread by the prohibitionists will only get more prevalent as more people come to believe it is time for prohibition to end. Dan King, Sacramento - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
