BEING HIGH AND MIGHTY ... BUT MOSTLY JUST HIGH

Credible drug law reform is gaining momentum as  evidenced by Ron
Paul's popularity (Ron Paul Attracts  High Turnout, Nov. 29, 2007).

At the very minimum it's time to re-legalize the  relatively safe
God-given plant cannabis (kaneh bosm /  marijuana) which is safer than
alcohol especially when  compared to whiskey. Cannabis hasn't killed
one person  in over 5,000 years of documented use while cigarettes
murder over 1,000 Americans daily and the plant is less  addictive
than coffee.

Dennis Kucinich is another presidential candidate  calling for drug
law reform and will regulate cannabis  similar to alcohol if elected
and will also end the  war. In fact if Kucinich was elected last time
We  wouldn't be in Iraq today.

Further, it is time to allow "free" American farmers to  grow hemp,
just like communist Chinese farmers.

Truthfully,

Stan White
