WAS IT NECESSARY TO RUN MARIJUANA ARTICLE?

Dear Editor - Re: 'Christmas for stoners' (Guelph Mercury, April 21).

I was disappointed with Saturday's stoners article.

As a mother I am trying very hard to teach my children not to do 
drugs. I have a 10-year-old who delivers your paper and she very 
often reads the front-page article while she is delivering.

I am sure a lot more of our youth believe that being a stoner is fun, 
that such an event is like Christmas, it brings all your friends 
together, the police won't bother you if there are lots of people doing it.

Last time I checked it was still illegal to smoke marijuana. Why were 
the police not there, and why did campus security not do anything? 
Was it really necessary for your paper to run this article? If it was 
necessary could you not have put the article inside the paper to 
protect your youngest delivery carriers who very often just look at 
the front page?
