But he conveniently misses the fact that with those issues, there are victims. With cannabis use there is arguably no victim unless it's the user being arrested. Then it's the government doing the victimizing. Stan White (When it comes to pot, Mikey doesn't like it.) - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
