Legalize Marijuana!
RECEIVED Thu., Oct. 14, 2010
Dear Editor,
California is voting next month to decide if it should legalize marijuana for personal possession in quantities up to an ounce. People around the country, and indeed around the world, are hoping and praying that America will end the war on the safest and most popular drug known. Americans have been lied to for over a century by their government and the corporations that control it. Our government is forcing other countries to keep marijuana illegal so their lie of “if you are busted over there you are in for the hassle of your life” will seem true. In truth, it's America that that is said about in other countries. This has not stopped marijuana from becoming one of the most popular drugs in every state. Mexico, which is under the iron control of the U.S., is hoping legalization will start here so they can end the American war on marijuana there.
These laws are turning millions of our citizens into criminals that are otherwise our best and most honest people. Alcohol is a narcotic, not marijuana. As I was told by the police in Amsterdam, alcohol causes problems, not the marijuana!
