IT'S WRONG TO KEEP MARIJUANA ILLEGAL

* Re "Clarify Medical Marijuana Law," the Nov. 29 editorial: Study after
study has shown that marijuana is not "dangerous." It is one of the more
benign substances known to science, certainly more so than alcohol and
tobacco. That alcohol and tobacco are legal while marijuana is not is
perpetuated solely out of prejudice and an unwillingness to admit that the
government and media have been wrong for so many decades.
