REAL 'ICK' FACTOR ISN'T POT, BUT HATRED AND RACISM
The "ick" factor is the product of decades of propaganda that is
clearly demonstrated by the following quote from the father of the
War on Drugs, Richard Nixon ( "Marijuana support group needs new name" June 22 ).
From the mouth of Richard Nixon:
"You know it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out
for legalizing marijuana is Jewish."
And, "the whole problem is really the blacks."
( Reference: Recorded in the White House tapes in conversations
between Richard Nixon and H.R. Haldeman on May 26, 1971, at 10:03
a.m. in the Oval Office and documented in "The Haldeman Diaries,"
being published by G.P. Putnam's Sons ).
The real "ICK" factor is this drug war waged against our own people
that really is the hidden tool of deep-rooted hatred and racism.
Robert R. Ryan, president, Ohio NORML
