LOOSENING POT LAWS A BAD IDEA

I was reading this article sent in by Robert Saint Amour, and, I must 
admit, I started scratching my head. Where does this guy come from? Pot 
Changes Welcome? Only by pot smokers, might I add.

This would be a terrible mistake by a weak government trying to add votes 
and support to their party, because behind every decision the governments 
seems to make is a hidden motive. Then this line he writes "I applaud our 
federal government ..for finally doing something that the general 
population all seem to agree with." Where do you get your statistics from? 
Maybe you should rephrase this and say that the general pot smoking 
population agree with, because in fact, that is the only support you will get.

I am part of the general population and I happen to know thousands of 
others who don't agree with you and they each know thousands of others and 
I am sure that we have you outnumbered. And here is a closing thought, if 
this newspaper dares to publish it, God doesn't agree, weed is a tool of 
the devil and he's got you! Get off the pot and get with God.
