DOPE-HEADS BACKING MARIJUANA CAUSE

Re: The letter by Wayne Phillips about Licia Corbella's column "Leave Grant 
Krieger alone."

The marijuana community has been flogging the medical benefits of marijuana 
for years in a bid to get the drug legalized. The main active agent in 
marijuana, THC, has been available in tablet form since the 1950s. The pot 
smokers claim the tablet form is "not the same" as smoking the pot. The 
bottom line is pot smokers want the drug legalized for recreational use, 
not medical purposes. People are losing sight of who is backing the 
marijuana cause. It's a bunch of dope-heads.
