REEFER MADNESS Re "Cocktail of drugs in system" (Sam Pazzano and Maryam Shah, July 29): You said he was on meth, ecstasy and marijuana. Really, you want to go there? Linking pot to those other two is an unfair comparison. It certainly doesn't help the movement towards legalization. Did you mention that he may have had aspirin or caffeine in his system as well? What about prescription drugs? Of course not, because it's unimportant. Marijuana does not make you a raging lunatic. It actually calms you. So, enough of the reefer madness and report the real news. Cue silly comment. Russell Middleton Cambridge (Did you read the story? It was a report on what drugs were in his system as revealed by an autopsy, including drugs other than the ones you just named. It quoted experts on what effects those drugs would likely have had. You're the one reading into it things the story didn't say) - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
