OPINION / LTE
MARIJUANA MEASURE
Will help the sick, society
As a registered voter I'd like to express my strong disapproval of the
continued prohibition of marijuana.
In over 8,000 years, no one has ever died from marijuana, yet we have over
400,000 deaths every year attributed to alcohol or tobacco. Meanwhile,
there are thousands of sick people who are denied access to the most
effective medicine for their ailments, just because that medicine happens
to be marijuana.
Valuable prison space is being taken up by people who choose to use
marijuana, space that could be used to hold child molesters. Surely we can
find a better use for the billions of dollars spent pursuing and
eradicating this useful plant.
Vote yes of Initiative 685!
