WEED IT OUT

I have a question. Why is marijuana so popular?

I work from midnight to 8 a.m. The other night when I was on my way to 
work, I was stopped at a red light by Fleischmann Park. I looked over 
because of all the racket that was going on, and I smelled weed coming from 
that direction. Needless to say I contacted the authorities, but their 
response is just a broken record. What can we do to stop the distribution 
of weed?

I swear, if I knew where it came from I would personally burn it down and 
take more pictures of the fire than a photo lab employee of 50 years has 
ever seen.

I have never smelled anything so rotten in my life. I guess it makes you so 
messed up you don't even know how bad it is.

I praise the Sheriff's Office and other agencies for the DARE program, but 
I think stiffer penalties for drug abuse should be implemented with our courts.

People just need help. If they don't know any better, teach them. They are 
not bad people; they just need help.
