GOOD SUBSTITUTE
Dear Editor, I'm writing about Stan White's thoughtful letter:
"God-given plant" (1-27-12).
Is there any legitimate reason that a natural herb that has never
killed anybody should be classified the same as heroin? I think not.
Marijuana is a good substitute for potentially deadly painkillers
such as Vicodin and is also a substitute for alcohol.
The pharmaceutical industry knows this, and so does the alcohol
industry, and this is probably why marijuana remains a criminalized substance.
