THE EVIL WEED Mark Bonokoski, give your head a shake ("Having sampled the marijuana of today ...," Aug. 24). He has not, supposedly, smoked any weed since his youth and yet made a determination that today's pot is way too powerful to even consider legalizing. That is like not having a shot for years and then having some 150 proof rum. Whoa, that stuff should be illegal! The stuff he was smoking back in the day was Mexican and you could inhale the whole bag. The quantity smoked today has lessened as the quality improved. This column was the knee-jerk reaction he probably would have accused his parents of when he was 20. I have read Bono for years and he is the last writer I would have thought to be such a hypocrite.
