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.
