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.
