UP IN SMOKE

EDITOR: Your articles on the Emerald Cup demonstrated to the voting 
public what we really got out of Proposition 215. It is obvious that 
this was never about the medicinal use of marijuana; it was just a 
license to get stoned.

Dona Frank ("Country fair raises marijuana's profile," Sunday) is 
quoted as equating the cannabis industry with the wine industry, not 
the medical industry. And Jerrin Ruell uses his "medical marijuana" 
to make cotton candy. I've never tried that with my ibuprofen, or 
even considered it.

So maybe it's time to call pot what it really is, a tool for getting 
high. I guess Proposition 215 just went up in smoke.
