Dear Editor of the Spectrum,
Colin Knoer got an arrow splitting bull's eye (Marijuana Legalization: The NORML Perspective, Jan. 7, 2011) [online version – printed in Wednesday's paper], citizens have contempt for government's message about drugs and the plant cannabis (marijuana) due to their lies, half-truths and propaganda. How many citizens try cannabis and realize it's not nearly as harmful as claimed by government and believe other substances must not be so bad either only to become addicted to hard drugs? Government even classifies cannabis as a Schedule I substance alongside heroin, while meth and cocaine are only Schedule II substances.
Further, cannabis was never meant to be prohibited to begin with; that's why God, the Ecologician indicates He created all the seed bearing plants saying they are all good, on literally the very first page of the Bible (see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).
Truthfully,
Stan White
