A CONFLICT FOR MARIAN?

Youth should not be using cannabis, but isn't there a conflict of 
interest when Marian Catholic High School says cannabis is bad 
("Marian Catholic to test all students for drugs," Dec. 18) and 
Christ God Our Father, the ecologician, indicates He created all the 
seed-bearing plants, saying they all are good, on literally the very 
first page of the Bible?

Why does a Catholic school discriminate against the relatively safe 
God-given plant cannabis, which is safer than alcohol, and not test 
for alcohol use? Isn't this drug testing policy going to lead toward 
more life-long alcoholism problems in the long run?
