GETTING GREEN

I keep hearing arguments against the government's plan to legalize
marijuana. It seems that those opposed believe there will be a massive
increase in consumption and a huge increase in people driving while
under the influence of the demon weed.

As Mr. Snobelen points out it is quite simple to obtain and use the 
drug. I hope he is being facetious about driving ten miles an hour with 
doritos bags flying out the window.

It is time we threw away all the misleading propaganda about marijuana. 
There are doctors, lawyers and other professionals that are regular 
users. These are not street people or ne'er do wells, these are people 
you interact with everyday. People would be shocked to discover the 
truth, you can use marijuana on a regular basis and it doesn't destroy 
your life. It's time we stopped believing the untruths used for prohibition.
