PROHIBITION LAWS ON MARIJUANA ARE NOT WORKING

CANADIAN SOLICITOR General Wayne Easter gets it. Maybe some day U.S. drug
czar John Walters will get it, too ("Canuck Pot: Crack of marijuana," Aug
23). Easter recognizes present prohibition laws on marijuana are not
working. For every dollar the U.S. spends on fighting marijuana use,
marijuana consumers spend two. We're getting fed up with Walters' reference
to Canadian indoor pot being equivalent to crack. Indoor marijuana is good,
don't get me wrong. But the best pot is, without a doubt, grown under God's
sun. Some of us oldtimers experienced the days of marijuana when it wasn't
grown under a fake sun with fake dirt. Days when it was plain organic home
grown cannabis! Days of considerably better quality.
