NO SANE ARGUMENT TO CONTINUE PROHIBITION OF MARIJUANA

Does Washoe County District Attorney Dick Gammick realize associating 
himself with the claim cannabis (marijuana) is a "Schedule I" 
substance is in fact the root of the farce ["Legal pot an uphill 
climb in Nevada," April. 24]? Cannabis prohibition is the "hoax" 
dependent on lies, half-truths and propaganda to perpetuate.

Claiming heroin is no worse than cannabis and methamphetamine, and 
cocaine is less harmful than cannabis by insisting cannabis is a 
Schedule I substance alongside heroin while methamphetamine and 
cocaine are only Schedule II substances is disingenuous and dangerous.

A sane or moral argument to continue cannabis prohibition doesn't exist.
