BOOZE MORE DAMAGING THAN POT

Thank you for printing Bill VanderGraaf's commonsense argument in
support of relaxing the marijuana laws in Canada ( Ex-cop's evolving
thought on pot, Aug. 13).

Having known an alcoholic, I just wish he would have replaced the 63
beers he drank each week with a few joints. This person would have
been be much happier and so would everyone he affected with his drinking.

How many more studies do we need to tell us what everyone (especially
cops) already know - that pot smokers are much less violent than
alcohol drinkers?
