IT'S LIKE LIQUOR

I just read the ( letter ) by David Cox.  I couldn't agree more with his thoughts.  One thing I want to add is that those who live among us that smoke marijuana and can provide positive input about the drug can't.  Anyone who speaks of their experience and admits using marijuana is automatically guilty of a crime.  I think the time has come to regulate the drug just as we do liquor and nicotine, which in my opinion are the two real gateway drugs in our society. 

To our District Attorney, I say this: Quit twisting the facts about marijuana. 

You may see pot every time you bust a meth addict.  but, you don't see meth every time you bust someone for pot! Finally, I doubt you can recall trying a domestic violence case where marijuana was the primary chemical component.
