TEENS PUSH FOR LEGALIZED POT
While defendants implicated in last month's drug bust spent Monday
afternoon filing through the courthouse, five Stevens Point teenagers
staged a small protest against the criminalization of marijuana use.
Holding signs declaring "Be Wise, Legalize," and "Hemp Can Save the
World," protesters courted honks from passing vehicles on the corner
of Main Street and Strongs Avenue, only blocks away from the building
where more than 20 defendants made their initial hearings in drug cases.
"People should be able to choose what goes in their body," said Ben
Eisner, 18. "Caffeine has more deaths per year than marijuana," he said.
