MARIJUANA RELATIVELY HARMLESS AS DRUGS GO
To the editor: Starting with the assumption that drugs are chemical
stupidity, marijuana is relatively harmless. Alcohol kills 40,000
Americans every year. Even in Fairbanks, drunk drivers have killed
innocent children. Alcohol is involved in the majority of crimes in
Alaska if you count fetal-alcohol-syndrome-related crimes. Tobacco
kills 300,000 Americans every year. Tobacco is legal and unregulated
because multinational corporations derive billions of dollars in
profit. Americans are free to choose various kinds of stupidity, even
if it kills them.
