IT'S NOT SHAME IN VALLEJO; IT'S SIMPLE DISCRIMINATION
If Pat Nelson ( "Vallejo: City of Shame," March 29 ) didn't harbor
feelings of discrimination, "shame" wouldn't be associated with
Vallejo. Cannabis ( marijuana ) is far safer than beer or wine -- not
to even mention whiskey. Businesses that sell those substances far
outnumber dispensaries.
Beer and wine are even sold in grocery stores with minors nearby, for
God's sake. Why does a civilized society allow alcohol sales but
still prohibit and exterminate the extremely popular and relatively
safe plant cannabis?
Discrimination, that's why.
